Scientific Method
This is one of the first steps in the scientific method where a researcher states what they think the answer to their research question will be.
What is formulating a hypothesis?
This group of research advisors reviews research plans to ensure proposed projects are feasible, ethical, and justified.
This is a measure of central tendency that takes the average of all numbers in a dataset.
What is the mean?
This tool allows you to measure masses of substances.
What is a balance?
This type of variable is deliberately changed by the researcher during an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
This type of plagiarism is when a student or researcher tries to pass off their previous work as new.
What is self-plagiarism?
A dataset that has two modes is called.
What is bimodal?
This online database provides comprehensive access to peer-reviewed SCIENTIFIC research articles.
What is Science Direct?
Who is Sam?
This is the group that receives all treatments aside from what is being tested.
What is a control group?
When working with human subjects, research proposals need to be approved by this group of people.
What is the IRB (Institutional Review Board)?
This measure of spread describes how spread out data is around the mean (average).
What is standard deviation?
This instrument allows you to view materials at higher magnifications.
What is a microscope?
Ms. Wenzler often goes to this state.
Where is Florida?
This term describes a controlled experiment where participants and the researcher do not know which group they are in.
What is a double blind study?
This must be in a research paper to attribute ideas to other researchers.
What are in-text citations?
A p-value less than this number is considered statistically significant.
What is p<0.05?
This machine shines light through a liquid sample and gives you an absorbance reading.
What is a UV-Visible spectrophotometer?
This is the name of Ms. Wenzler's dog.
This principle requires researchers to replicate experiments to validate their findings.
What is reproducibility?
This principle requires researchers to obtain voluntary permission from participants after informing them of a study's purpose, risks and benefits.
What is informed consent?
This statistical test compares two means of normally distributed data.
What is a t-test?
This advanced laboratory technique allows researchers to amplify and study specific DNA segments.
What is PCR (polymerase chain reaction)?
This is what Dr. Thompson's Ph.D. is in.
What is Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology.
