Science described with this word is neither good nor bad, unless it is applied by technology (such as using genetics to control the desired eye color, height or gender of babies).
What is amoral?
200
This phase of the experimental design process, an educated guess based upon observations and prior knowledge, can be disproved with a single experiment.

What is the independent variable?
200
This is how scientists deal with very large numbers and very small numbers.
What is scientific notation?
300
The idea that science never proves anything but only builds upon or revises previous ideas and theories with the use of new technology and scientific evidence.
What is the idea that science is tentative and developmental?
300
The first is a variable that is manipulated by the scientists and the second is the variable that changes in response to the manipulated variable.

500
The fact that advances in science may lead to advances in technology and vice versa.
What is how science and technology are related?
500
One is a well tested explanation and the other is a pattern found in nature without making an attempt to explain it.
What is the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law?
500
