Science Investigation

Systematic processes used to answer questions about the natural world.

A systematic and careful investigation or study to discover new facts, revise existing theories, or create new knowledge.

The active, systematic process of noticing, monitoring, and recording phenomena or behaviors using the senses or scientific tools to gather data.

A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

A scientific procedure testing a hypothesis under controlled conditions to discover cause-and-effect, validate a theory, or determine the efficacy of something new, involving manipulation of variables and repeatable steps to draw logical conclusions.

A variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another.

A variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.

A controlled variable (or constant variable) is any factor held constant in an experiment to ensure that only the independent variable influences the dependent variable.

In scientific research, a control is a standard component of an experiment that remains untreated or unchanged to provide a baseline for comparing results and measuring the effect of independent variables.

Facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.

A conclusion in science is the final step of an investigation, summarizing the results, evaluating the hypothesis (supported or refuted), and interpreting findings based on evidence.

Examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure of (something, especially information), typically for purposes of explanation and interpretation.

Scientific bias refers to systematic, often unintentional, errors in the design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation phases of research that lead to inaccurate, skewed, or non-objective results.

The general, long-term direction or tendency of data to change (increase, decrease, or remain stable) over time or across experimental conditions.
