What are Various Ways to Interpret Results?

400

The variable being measured.

What is a Dependent Variable?
400

Frogs are amphibious, amphibians live both on land and in water, so frogs live both on land and in water.

What is an example of Deductive Reasoning?

400

All reptiles are cold-blooded. Foxes aren't reptiles, so foxes aren't cold-blooded.

What is an Example of Deductive Reasoning?

500

What is Finding a Way to Live Sustainably?

500

All five steps of the Scientific Method.

What is:

  • Observing and Questioning

  • Forming Hypotheses

  • Collecting Data

  • Interpreting Results

  • Disseminating Findings

500

How close a particular measure is to the true value and how close the repeated measurements of a sample are to one another.

What is Accuracy and Precision?

500

If you play games all day, you'll get less work done. You just got the ability to play games after losing that for a month, so now you can play games all day, therefore you will get less work done.

What is an Example of Inductive Reasoning?

500

The field of study looking at interactions between human systems and natural systems, allowing humans to see how they are affecting the environment.
