Question | Answer |
Science uses both | logic and innovation. |
Science is a complex | social endeavor. |
Scientific knowledge represents the current | consensus among scientists. |
A classification key | is an important tool used to help identify objects and organisms. |
A hypothesis | is an educated guess/prediction about what will happen based on what you already know. |
An independent variable | is the factor in an experiment that is altered by the experimenter. |
Scientists develop their ideas based on | evidence. |
A dependent variable | is the factor in an experiment that changes as a result of the manipulation of the independent variable. |
The constants | in an experiment are those things that are purposefully kept the same throughout the experiment. |
When conducting experiments, | data are collected, recorded, analyzed, and communicated using proper graphical representations and metric measurements. |
Bar graphs and line graphs | are useful tools for reporting discrete data and continuous data, respectively. |
A scientific prediction | is a forecast about what may happen in some future situation. |
Estimation is a useful tool | for making approximate measures and giving general descriptions. |
An inference | is a tentative explanation based on background knowledge and available data. |
A conclusion | is a summary statement based on the results of an investigation. Scientific conclusions are based on verifiable observations (science is empirical). |
