| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Scientific Investigation | a systematic process of asking questions about the natural world and using the scientific method—making observations, forming testable hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing evidence- conclusions—to find reliable answers |
| Research | a systematic process of inquiry to discover new things, or solve problems, involving careful collection , analysis, and data using structured methods to increase understanding and applications, whether for basic understanding or specific practical goals. |
| Observation | the active, systematic process of using the senses or scientific instruments to perceive, record, and analyze data, behaviors, or phenomena in their natural or controlled settings. |
| Inference | a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning. |
| Hypothesis | a tentative, testable, and falsifiable explanation for an observed phenomenon, typically written as an "if-then" statement to guide scientific research. |
| Experiment | a controlled procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis, serving to determine the cause-and-effect of a specific, manipulated factor. |
| Independent Variable | the factor that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test its effects on a dependent variable, essentially |
| Dependent Variable | the outcome or result in a scientific experiment that is measured and is expected to change in response to manipulations of the independent variable. |
| Controlled Variable | a factor in a scientific experiment that is intentionally kept unchanged or consistent throughout the study to ensure accurate, valid results. |
| Control | a standard, unchanging baseline used for comparison against the experimental group, ensuring results are due to the manipulated variable. |
| Data | comprises structured, unstructured, qualitative, and quantitative information gathered through observation or experimentation to test hypotheses and advance knowledge. |
| Conclusion | summarizes an experiment's results, indicating whether the data supports or refutes the original hypothesis. |
| Analyze | critically examines the data and observations collected. |
| Scientific Bias | a systematic, often unintentional, deviation from the truth in research design, data collection, analysis, or publication, leading to incorrect conclusions. |
| Data trends | rise of agentic AI, adoption of cloud-native architectures, and ethical, human-centric data practices. |
