| InferenceA logical interpretation based on prior knowleged and experience | Inference |
| Possible explanation for a set of observations or possible answer to a scientific | Hypothesis |
| Experiment in which only the variable is changed | Controlled Experiment |
| Factor in a controlled experiment that is deliberately changed | Independent Variable |
| Group in an experiment that is exposed to the same conditions as the experimental group except for one independent variable | Control Group |
| Evidence; information gathered from observations | Data |
| Well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observation and hypotheses, and enables scientists to make accurate predications about new situations | Theory |
