1.1, 1.3 & 1.2 Investigations and Knowledge
When new evidence or explainations rise.
Why do scientific ideas change?
Where scientists place all the data they have observed to visualize patterns.
What is a data table?
Data as a number or unit representing an observation.
What is measurement?
A structure that represents some object or function.
What is a model?
When you use all of your senses to learn and collect data.
What is an observation?
The trends and patterns and relationships variables have.
What do graphs show?
The worldwide accepted scientific measurement system.
What is the International System of Units (SI)?
A bunch of models working together to perform the function of an object without it being there
What are simulations?
The variable that is purposely changed in the experiment.
What is a manipulated variable?
Laws tell us that something happens.
Theories attempt to explain why.
What is the difference between scientific laws and theories?
All scientists can share their work with no conversions needed.
What are SI advantages?
These models often don't function exactly like the real thing but allow non-dangerous tests.
What are physical models?
What all scientific experiments must have been in order to be accurate and accepted.
What is replicated?
The data or measurments used to support an explanation
What is empirical evidence?
This advancing creation allows scientists to better analyze their data, and find more specific observations.
This model uses represents a system or process with data and is used to predict functions.
What is a mathematical model?
Scientific methods used falsely to prove a fact.
What is pseudoscience?
In the field you get to observe things in their natural environments, in the lab, you can control all variables
Why do some scientists prefer Lab work or others prefer field work?
What do all scientists need to be with their data sets to make sure it is correct.
What are accuracy and precision?
Shows all of the functions of a system and how they work together.
What is a conceptual model?
