| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Scientific Investigation | a systematic, evidence-based process for exploring questions about the natural world, typically involving observation, hypothesis development, experimentation, and analysis |
| Resaerch | the pursuit of new knowledge through the process of discovery |
| Observation | the active process of using senses or scientific instruments to gather, record, and analyze data about phenomena |
| Inference | a logical conclusion, interpretation, or explanation derived from observations, evidence, and prior knowledge |
| Hypothesis | a tentative, testable, and falsifiable explanation for an observed phenomenon, serving as the foundation for scientific investigation |
| Experiment | a methodical, controlled procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis, theory, or scientific question |
| Independent Variable | the factor, condition, or variable that a scientist deliberately manipulates, changes, or varies in an experiment to observe its effect on another variable |
| Dependent Variable | the factor that is measured or observed in an experiment |
| Controlled Variable | any factor in a scientific experiment that is intentionally held constant or restricted, rather than changed, to prevent it from influencing the dependent variable |
| Control | a component, group, or variable in an experiment that remains unchanged or untreated to serve as a standard for comparison |
| Data | raw facts, measurements, observations, or, symbolic representations collected through research and experimentation |
| Conclusion | the final step of an experiment or research project that summarizes findings, interprets data, and determines whether the initial hypothesis was supported or refuted |
| Analyze | the systematic process of breaking down complex data, experimental results, or substances into smaller parts to understand their structure, function, and interrelationships |
| Scientific Bias | a systematic error or deviation from the truth in research, including data collection, analysis, interpretation, or publication, which leads to incorrect or inaccurate conclusions |
| Data trends | the general, long-term direction or pattern of movement in data sets, such as upward, downward, or steady, indicating how variables change over time or in response to conditions |
