What is Science?
Science
What is the systematic study of natural events and conditions?
(Life science, Earth science, Physical science)
Hypothesis
What is a testable idea or explanation that is needed in a scientific investigation.
Theory
What is a well-supported explanation?
Scatter plot
What is a graph with plotted points that shows a possible relationship between two sets of data?
The three types of models
What is Physical model, Conceptual model, Mathematical Model?
Scientific ideas must be...
What is reproducible and testable?
Variable
What is any factor that can change in a scientific investigation?
The three types of science
What is life science (biology), earth science (geology) and physical science (chemistry & physics)?
Linear Graph
What is the graph that shows the relationship between the independent and dependent variable in a straight line?
Shows the structure of an object, system, or concept.
What is a model?
Empirical evidence
What is evidence gathered by making observations and measurements that supports scientific explanations?
Independent/manipulated Variable
What is the variable that is deliberately manipulated in a scientific investigation?
Scientific Theory
What is the explanation supported by large amounts of evidence?
The x and y axis
What is the independent and dependent variable?
Use models to imitate the function, or process of whatever the model represents.
What is a simulation?
Skepticism
What is not accepting anything you've seen or heard immediately?
Dependent/responding Variable
What is the variable that changes as the result of the manipulation in a scientific investigation?
Law
What is the description of a specific relationship under given conditions in the natural world?
System of measurements that all scientists use.
What is the International System of Units (SI)?
Represents physical structure of an object.
What is a physical model?
Pseudoscience
What is the belief or practice that is based on incorrect science methods?
Controlled/Constant Variable
What is the variable that remains the same throughout the investigation?
The difference between a scientific theory and law
Short way of presenting very large or small numbers.
What is scientific notation?
Used to study things that are too big in size.
What is a Scale model?
