Scientific Investigation

is a systematic process of asking questions about the world, forming testable explanations (hypotheses), and using evidence from observations and experiments to build knowledge, following the structured steps of the scientific method.

the systematic, diligent, and organized process of investigating phenomena, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting findings to discover new knowledge, test hypotheses, and build understanding of the natural world

the active process of using senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste) or scientific instruments to gather information, data, and evidence about the natural world

is the logical process of drawing conclusions, interpreting data, or forming hypotheses based on evidence, observations, and prior knowledge rather than direct observation alone.

is a tentative, testable, and falsifiable explanation for a specific phenomenon, acting as a proposed answer to a research question.

is a structured, systematic procedure conducted to test a hypothesis, discover new information, or demonstrate a known fact.

is the specific factor, condition, or variable that a researcher intentionally manipulates, changes, or selects in an experiment to observe its effect on another variable (the dependent variable)

the factor being measured, tested, or observed in a scientific experiment, representing the effect or outcome that changes in response to manipulations of the independent variable.

raw facts, measurements, observations, or recordings collected during experiments and research.

Question	Answer
Scientific Investigation	is a systematic process of asking questions about the world, forming testable explanations (hypotheses), and using evidence from observations and experiments to build knowledge, following the structured steps of the scientific method.
Research	the systematic, diligent, and organized process of investigating phenomena, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting findings to discover new knowledge, test hypotheses, and build understanding of the natural world
Observation	the active process of using senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste) or scientific instruments to gather information, data, and evidence about the natural world
Inference	is the logical process of drawing conclusions, interpreting data, or forming hypotheses based on evidence, observations, and prior knowledge rather than direct observation alone.
Hypothesis	is a tentative, testable, and falsifiable explanation for a specific phenomenon, acting as a proposed answer to a research question.
Experiment	is a structured, systematic procedure conducted to test a hypothesis, discover new information, or demonstrate a known fact.
Independent Variable	is the specific factor, condition, or variable that a researcher intentionally manipulates, changes, or selects in an experiment to observe its effect on another variable (the dependent variable)
Dependent Variable	the factor being measured, tested, or observed in a scientific experiment, representing the effect or outcome that changes in response to manipulations of the independent variable.
Controlled Variable	is any factor kept constant (unchanged) during an experiment to ensure that only the independent variable affects the outcome, making the results reliable and valid by preventing outside influences from distorting the relationship between the independent
Control	s a standard component of an experiment that remains untreated or unchanged to serve as a baseline for comparison.
Data	raw facts, measurements, observations, or recordings collected during experiments and research.
Conclusion	is the final step of an investigation that summarizes findings, interprets data, and determines if the results support or refute the original hypothesis.
Analyze	to systematically break down, examine, and interpret experimental data or complex information to identify patterns, relationships, and trends.
Scientific Bias	is a systematic, non-random error in the design, implementation, analysis, or reporting of research that leads to false conclusions or deviates from the truth.
Data trends	the general, long-term direction of change or movement in data sets, indicating an upward, downward, or stable pattern over time.
