Scientific Investigation

a systematic process used to explore observations, answer questions, and test hypotheses about the natural world using the scientific method

a systematic, creative investigation conducted to increase knowledge, analyze information, and solve problems

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

a conclusion or idea reached by using evidence and reasoning, essentially making an "educated guess" or "reading between the lines" about something not explicitly stated, by connecting known facts with existing knowledge

a proposed, testable explanation for an observation, acting as an educated guess

a methodical, controlled procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis, theory, or scientific question

the factor, condition, or variable that a scientist deliberately manipulates, changes, or varies in an experiment to observe its effect on another variable

the factor that is measured or observed in an experiment

any factor in a scientific experiment that is intentionally held constant or restricted, rather than changed, to prevent it from influencing the dependent variable

Independent and Dependent Variables ExamplesA control variable (or constant) in science is any factor, trait, or condition that is intentionally held constant throughout an experiment to prevent it from influencing the outcome

raw facts, measurements, observations, or, symbolic representations collected through

the final step of an experiment or research project that summarizes findings, interprets data, and determines whether the initial hypothesis was supported or refuted. It

the systematic process of breaking down complex data, materials, or phenomena into smaller, manageable parts to understand their structure, function, and interrelationships

Scientific bias is a systematic error or deviation from the truth in research, leading to skewed results and incorrect conclusions.
