Introduction to Science
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Root word of science which came from Latin. | Scientia |
| Specific to general way of thinking. | Inductive Reasoning |
| Uses observation to arrive at a general conclusion. | Inductive Reasoning |
| It starts from general principle and predicts specific results. | Deductive Reasoning |
| It is a reasonable and coherent series of actions that addresses worldly inquiries. | Scientific Method |
| It is an event when we can make our observation. | Phenomenon |
| Set of data that are collected by our senses. | Qualitative Data |
| Set of data that are obtained with the aid of tools such as ruler, thermometer, graduated cylinder, etc. | Quantitative Data |
| Is the expression of an idea derived from an observation. It is the starting point for creating model. | Inference |
| Is employed to graphically elucidate a concept that is difficult to perceive or comprehend. | Model |
| Refers to the potential response to the inquiry or an educated assumption. | Hypothesis |
| It is a controlled procedure that confirms or rejects the hypothesis. | Experiment |
| Hypothesis being rejected. | Null Hypothesis |
| A confirmed hypothesis. | Alternative Hypothesis |
| It is a group which receives the treatment, with one variable that will affect the outcome. | Experimental Set Up |
| A group which employs the same setting as the experimental setup, but does not contain any variables that will affect the outcome. | Controlled Set Up |
| Any feature, characteristics, or circumstances that can exist that will affect the outcome. | Variables |
| It is the variable being manipulated. | Independent Variable |
| It is the "cause" and also the x-axis (abscissa) in a Cartesian plane) | Independent Variable |
| It is where the "effect" can be seen from the independent variable. | Dependent Variable |
| Associated with the y-axis (ordinate) in a Cartesian plane. | Dependent Variable |
| The variables that do not change. | Constant |
| Process in scientific method where results will be checked if consistent with the hypothesis. | Analyze results |
| Process in scientific method where the gathered data is interpreted. | Drawing Conclusion |
| It is based on the interpretation of data gathered. | Conclusion |
| It is an explanation based on many repeated observations during experiment. | Theory |
| Something that answers why and it has been tested repeatedly and has so far always been true. | Theory |
| Is a general statement that describes pattern in nature. | Law |
| A mathematical statement that tells how something happens. | Law |
| Four branches of Science (NaForApS) | Natural, Formal, Applied and Social Sciences |
| The study that deals with the environment or nature and the entire universe. | Natural Science |
| It is a branch of natural science that deals with non-living things. | Physical Science |
| The study of composition, structure, properties and changes of matter. | Chemistry |
| The study of matter, its mobility through space and time. | Physics |
| The study of heavenly or celestial bodies. | Astronomy |
| The study of the planet Earth. | Geology |
| The branch of science that studies the atmosphere and the phenomena that results from it, such as weather and climate. | Meteorology |
| It is the study of living things. | Biological Science |
| It is a branch of science that studies fields dealing with formal systems that describe abstract structures. | Formal Science |
| The study of numbers. | Mathemathics |
| The study of collecting and analyzing data. | Statistics |
| It is the study of interference and inferential relationship is its focus. | Logic |
| The study of computers and computational system. | Computer Science |
| The area of study combines computer science with substantial datasets to make problem-solving possible. | Artificial Intelligence |
| The use of scientific method and knowledge obtained via conclusions from the method to attain practical goals. | Applied Science |
| It is the application of scientific knowledge to the practical goals of human life. | Technology |
| The study that deals with human relations. | Social Science |
| The study of the past and records. | History |
| The study of society. | Sociology |
| It deals with government and politics. | Political Science |
| It deals with logic and reasoning. | Philosophy |
| It is the investigation of how human communities and culture evolves. | Anthropology |
| Branch of knowledge concerned with production, consumption, and transfer of wealth and natural resources. | Economics |
