Factors that can effect the outcome of an experiment-
What are variables?
100
A prediction of what will occur in an test.
What is the Hypothesis?
100
Using one or more senses to gather information and take note of what occurs-
What is an observation?
100
The main three branches of science-
What is life, earth, and physical science?
100
observations expressed in numerical values. Example: 50 mls of fluid in a beaker.
What is Quantitative Data?
200
Factors that are kept the same such as the sizes of the paper towels...
What are constant variables?
200
Experiments require recording data in a chart or table for later review. This usually occurs in this step-
What is the Test?
200
Practical and modern use of scientific knowledge in the world-
What is technology?
200
The main branch of science that includes studying genetic traits-
What is Life Science?
200
Engineers are scientist who use these to study the structures of and loads on bridges. They do have limitations.
What are models?
300
The outcome factor of an investigation that is measured, recorded and later analyzed.
What is a dependent variable?
300
When students are making calculations after all data is entered.
What is Analyzing data?
300
A rule that is described as a predictable and repeatable pattern that can be proven, but not explained how-
What is scientific law?
300
The branch of science that focuses study on atmospheric gases-
What is Earth Science?
300
Something that scientific law and theory have in common-
What is repeated patterns over time?
400
The manipulated variable that is tested and experimented with.
What is the independent variable?
400
After a hypothesis has been tested and supported, this would be communicated in the scientific world-
What is a conclusion?
400
This is an explanation of observations or events based on knowledge gained from many investigations and can change with new science as it develops-
What is scientific theory?
400
Chemical reactions, atoms and gravity are topics in this field of science-
What is Physical Science?
400
WOW-The bridge collapsed and the force of gravity took the it down. This is an example of this type of motion-
What is descend?
500
The independent variable belongs in this group-
What is the experimental group?
500
Testing the cleanliness of towels by using different detergents could be compared to washing towels without detergent. The load that doesn't use detergent belongs to this group-
What is the control group?
500
Comparing your prior knowledge with new acquired information to make a well thought through decision- More students need to do this!
What is critical thinking?
500
Marie Curie won TWO Nobel prizes in the early 1900's for her work with-
What is radioactivity?
500
Soldiers who do this on a bridge, must always do it out of sync so to distribute their energy. This keeps the vibrations from causing a potentially violent motion.
