You are interested in understanding how well a particulat plant grows in your back yard. You know that the soil in your back yard is sandy. In order to test how well it grows in other environments you set up an experiment in which you choose two other soi l types. You set up 5 pots of each soil type and allow the plants to be exposed to equal amounts of light, water, and ferilizer. Allowing each level of treatment to be exposed to equal amounts of light,water,and fertilizer throught the experiment is an ex

What is the order of the scientific method? Experiment, observations, conclusion, hypothesis, data, prediction, and question observation, question, hypothesis, prediction, experment, data, and conclusion
What is an hypothesis? an educated guess
a hypothesis is a statement that is testable and falsifiable and can be proven true. T or F? False, a hypothesis cant be proven true it can only be supported by evidence
independent variable? Dependent varibale? (Predictor)varibale: what you change in the experiment (response) variable- what happens because of the change
Level of treatments? Levels of treatment- the different forms/levels of the independent variable you use
constants? factors that are kept the same throughtout the experiment for all treatments. it ensures that you only have 1 independent variable
control? the form/level of the idependent varibale you use that produces a known or baseline valus of the dependent varibale
Replication? multiple test subjects or test groups should be exposed to each treatment level
Primary Sources? are articles written by the researchers themselves and have gone through peer review
What is peer review? means a paper is reviewed by other scientists in the same field
secondary and tertiary sources are? media reports, textbooks, websites or review articles that summarize or review the results of someone else's work
what is the process of pulsing a primary source? The researcher writes a paper and submits it to a journal. -> a journal then sends it to peer review. Then two things CAN happen. it can either be approved and published or the paper can be returned to the scientists to revise.
