1.1
The factor in an experiment that is deliberately changed by the scientist.
This step in a scientific investigation involves looking for patterns in data to draw a conclusion.
When a scientist performs multiple trials of their own experiment to ensure accuracy.
What is repetition?
Scientists must provide these detailed, step-by-step instructions so others can replicate their work.
Science is limited to studying this world, not supernatural or opinion-based claims.
This is the standard to which the results of an experiment are compared.
Information gathered through the five senses during an experiment.
When a different scientist follows the same procedures to see if they get the same results.
A scientist who averages the results of 10 trials is practicing this.
This is the "language" of science, used to collect and report data globally.
These factors must remain the same throughout an experiment to ensure a fair test.
Unlike an observation, this is a logical interpretation based on prior knowledge and experience.
Doing this helps a scientist identify outliers and ensure their own data is reliable.
This process is the ultimate "quality control" in the scientific community
Even if a hypothesis is "wrong," the experiment is still useful because it provides this.
A testable explanation for an observation that can be used to design an experiment.
What is a hypothesis?
This type of investigation involves observing things in their natural environment without manipulating variables.
this fails to happen when another lab tries your experiment, your conclusion may be considered invalid.
Scientists use this to represent things that are too big, too small, or too complex to study directly.
Data that is expressed using numbers, such as mass, length, or time.
