QuestionAnswer
Scientific Investigation The process of finding the answer to a question using research methods, including observation and experimentation.
Research A methodical study to find a definitive answer to a question.
Observation Information gathered directly through the senses or scientific tools.
Inference A logical conclusion based on evidence and reasoning, rather than direct observation.
Hypothesis A testable, "if-then" statement predicting the relationship between variables. It is an educated guess based on prior research.
Experiment A structured procedure designed to test a hypothesis under controlled conditions.
Independent Variable The factor that is manipulated or changed on purpose by the researcher to test its effect.
Dependent Variable The factor that is measured or observed, which changes in response to the independent variable.
Controlled Variable Factors kept constant by the scientist to ensure results are solely due to the independent variable.
Control a baseline or standard, often a control group or condition, that remains unchanged to help isolate and measure the effect of the variable being tested
Data The information, measurements, or observations gathered during an experiment. It can be qualitative (descriptive) or quantitative (numerical).
Conclusion A determination of whether the data supports or refutes the hypothesis.
Analyze To study data (often using statistics) to look for patterns, trends, and differences between control and test groups.
Scientific Bias A systematic, often unintentional deviation from the truth in data collection, analysis, or interpretation that causes false conclusions.
Data trends The general direction in which a variable changes over time
