Explaining things by starting with a general idea and then applying the idea to a specific observation.
What is deductive reasoning?
100
Your answer can only have as many places after the decimal point as the measurement with fewest places after the decimal point.
What is the adding and subtracting measurements rule?
100
They show how different sets of data are related.
Why are line graphs powerful tools?
100
This refers to the different ways in which scientists study the natural world and come up with explanations based on evidence they gather.
What is scientific inquiry?
200
The process of grouping together items that are alike in some way.
What is classifying?
200
A scientists open-mindedness should always be balanced out with this.
What is skepticism?
200
To determine how close to the true value an experimental value is, we would use this calculation.
What is percent error?
200
This axis runs left to right, while this axis runs up and down.
What is the X- and Y- axis?
200
This must be testable.
What is a scientific hypothesis?
300
This is a variable that is changed to test a hypothesis.
What is an independent variable?
300
One is the type of observation that deals with numbers and amounts, and the other is the observation that deals with things that are not numbers.
What is the difference between quantitative and qualitative observations?
300
The numerical average of a set of data.
What is the mean?
300
This variable is located on the X-axis of a graph.
What is the independent variable?
300
This is an experiment in which only one variable is manipulated.
What is a controlled experiment?
400
This variable changes in response to the manipulated variable.
What is a dependent variable?
400
This uses specific observations to make generalizations.
What is inductive reasoning?
400
The number that appears most often in a list of numbers.
What is the mode?
400
This variable is located on the Y-axis of a graph.
What is dependent variable?
400
what we do when conducting an experiment is not possible.
What are observations and modeling?
500
When you explain or interpret the things you observe.
What is inferring?
500
When you make decisions and draw conclusions based on available evidence.
What is objective reasoning?
500
This is the middle number in a set of data.
What is median?

This shows the relationship between the two variables on the graph.
What is the trend?
500
These are the beginning of scientific inquiry.
