ROW 1
- the degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to that quantity's true (actual) value
ACCURACY
- smallest unit of life
CELL
- a statement at the end of an experiment that indicates if the hypothesis is supported by the data collected
CONCLUSION
- variable that does not change throughout the experiment
CONSTANT
- recorded information that goes against the norm or the trend
CONTRADICTORY DATA
-variable which is manipulated (changed) by the experimenter; the cause
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
-data that is measurable with numbers
QUANTITATIVE DATA
-how an organism's traits are passed to their offspring
HEREDITY
-difference between a measurement and a true value or between two measured values
EXPERIMENTAL ERROR
-to make note of an event using your senses
OBSERVATIONS
-sum of all chemical reactions carried out in an organism
METABOLISM
-judgement or conclusion based on an observation
INFERENCE
-variable that changes because of the independent variable; the effect; the response
DEPENDENT VARIABLE
-a statement of fact meant to describe, in concise terms, an action; is generally accepted to be true and universal
MEAN
- recorded observations or information
DATA
-accepted explanation of a large body of information, experimental and inferential, and serves as an overarching framework for concepts
THEORY
-the number of times the experiment is repeated
TRIALS
-statement about what the experimenter thinks what will happen
PREDICITION
-a balanced internal condition in which an organism will function at its best
HOMEOSTASIS
-series of steps of a scientific experiment performed in the ordered listed
PROCEDURES
-standard for comparing experimental effects
CONTROL
-a single factor in an experiment
VARIABLE
-tentative explanation that accounts for a set of facts, that can be tested by further investigation
HYPOTHESIS
-the degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same results. (see picture with accuracy)
PRECISION
-data that is not measurable; may include words, descriptions and/or drawings
