| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| True or false Knowledge gained through the use of scientific investigations has provided evidence in favor of Scripture. | True |
| True or false The inductive method of investigation performs experiments or makes observations to prove or disprove a suggested theory. | False |
| True or false If the results of an experiment disprove the hypothesis, the test was poorly designed and is invalid. | False |
| True or false literature search is part of a scientific investigation. | True |
| Recorded observations are called: | Data |

| What portion (division) of a meter stick is a centimeter? | 1/100 = .01 |
| The science of naming and classifying organisms is called: | taxonomy |
| The Law of Conservation of Matter means that: | matter cannot be destroyed or created by known chemical reactions |
| If many observations or results of experiments fail to agree with your deductive reasoning, then: | the general principle or theory is probably false. |
| Searching for evidence which may exist if a theory is assumed true is an example of the: | Deductive method |
| Accurate recording of observations should be based on: | Honesty |
| The volume of water in a fish tank can be measured in: | Liters |
| How many meters are there in 5 kilometers? | 5,000 |
| An inference is: | conclusion drawn from information or an observation |
| What is the purpose of forming a scientific hypothesis? | It starts a plan to test your idea |
| Which professional uses practical knowledge of science to design and manufacture machines? | Engineer |
| Recorded information obtained from observation, tests, or experiments which provides reasonable support to validate or falsify a theory is called: | Evidence |
| Which statements are true about "evidence"? | data to help draw a conclusion observations which answer questions information for or against an idea |
