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 process of inquiry undertaken to increase knowledge, analyze information, and solve problems through controlled, evidence-based methods

the active acquisition of information, involving the perception of phenomena through senses or instruments, and recording data to gain knowledge.

a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

a tentative, testable, and falsifiable explanation for an observed phenomenon

is a controlled, repeatable procedure designed to test a hypothesis, investigate scientific principles, or determine cause-and-effect by manipulating independent variables to observe changes in dependent variables.

is the factor, condition, or input that a researcher deliberately manipulates, changes, or selects in an experiment to test its impact on another variable. It

is the factor in a scientific experiment that is measured, observed, and expected to change in response to manipulations of the independent variable.

is any factor, trait, or condition that is intentionally held, or kept, constant throughout an experiment to ensure the results are valid and accurate. It

is a standard component of an experiment that remains untreated or unchanged to serve as a baseline for comparison.

facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.

the end or finish of an event or process.

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

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 movement of data points—upward, downward, or stable—observed over a specific period or set of conditions.

Research	a systematic, creative process of inquiry undertaken to increase knowledge, analyze information, and solve problems through controlled, evidence-based methods
Observation	the active acquisition of information, involving the perception of phenomena through senses or instruments, and recording data to gain knowledge.
Inference	a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.
Hypothesis	a tentative, testable, and falsifiable explanation for an observed phenomenon
Experiment	is a controlled, repeatable procedure designed to test a hypothesis, investigate scientific principles, or determine cause-and-effect by manipulating independent variables to observe changes in dependent variables.
Independent Variable	is the factor, condition, or input that a researcher deliberately manipulates, changes, or selects in an experiment to test its impact on another variable. It
Dependent Variable	is the factor in a scientific experiment that is measured, observed, and expected to change in response to manipulations of the independent variable.
Controlled Variable	is any factor, trait, or condition that is intentionally held, or kept, constant throughout an experiment to ensure the results are valid and accurate. It
Control	is a standard component of an experiment that remains untreated or unchanged to serve as a baseline for comparison.
Data	facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.
Conclusion	the end or finish of an event or process.
Analyze	examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure of (something, especially information), typically for purposes of explanation and interpretation.
Scientific Bias	systematic, often unintentional, errors in the design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation phases of research that lead to inaccurate, skewed, or non-objective results.
Data trends	the general, long-term direction or movement of data points—upward, downward, or stable—observed over a specific period or set of conditions.
