Scientific Investigation

a systematic, evidence-based process used to answer questions about the natural world.

a systematic investigation aimed at discovering, interpreting, or revising facts to increase knowledge.

a remark, statement, or comment based on something one has seen, heard, or noticed.

the action of interfering or the process of being interfered with.

a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

perform a scientific procedure, especially in a laboratory, to determine something.

the one thing a scientist changes or controls in an experiment to see what effect it has on something else.

the thing you measure in a science experiment to see if it changes.

any factor in a scientific experiment that is intentionally held constant or kept the same throughout the study.

a baseline for comparison in an experiment, ensuring fairness and isolating the effect of the single thing being tested (the independent variable) by keeping all other factors constant.

raw facts, measurements, and observations collected through experimentation or study, which are processed to form evidence, test hypotheses, and derive insights

a summary of an experiment's results, explaining whether the data supports or refutes the initial hypothesis, and interpreting the findings to show what they mean for the broader scientific understanding, often suggesting future research.

to systematically break down, examine, and interpret complex data or components to identify patterns, relationships, or truths. It involves processing experimental evidence to validate hypotheses.

a standardized set of low-level, highly optimized routines for performing fundamental vector and matrix operations.

long-term, discernible patterns or general directions of change—increasing, decreasing, or stable—observed in experimental or observational data over time.

Term	Definition
Scientific Investigation	a systematic, evidence-based process used to answer questions about the natural world.
Research	a systematic investigation aimed at discovering, interpreting, or revising facts to increase knowledge.
Observation	a remark, statement, or comment based on something one has seen, heard, or noticed.
Inference	the action of interfering or the process of being interfered with.
Hypothesis	a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
Experiment	perform a scientific procedure, especially in a laboratory, to determine something.
Independent Variable	the one thing a scientist changes or controls in an experiment to see what effect it has on something else.
Dependent Variable	the thing you measure in a science experiment to see if it changes.
Controlled Variable	any factor in a scientific experiment that is intentionally held constant or kept the same throughout the study.
Control	a baseline for comparison in an experiment, ensuring fairness and isolating the effect of the single thing being tested (the independent variable) by keeping all other factors constant.
Data	raw facts, measurements, and observations collected through experimentation or study, which are processed to form evidence, test hypotheses, and derive insights
Conclusion	a summary of an experiment's results, explaining whether the data supports or refutes the initial hypothesis, and interpreting the findings to show what they mean for the broader scientific understanding, often suggesting future research.
Analyze	to systematically break down, examine, and interpret complex data or components to identify patterns, relationships, or truths. It involves processing experimental evidence to validate hypotheses.
Scientific Bias	a standardized set of low-level, highly optimized routines for performing fundamental vector and matrix operations.
Data trends	long-term, discernible patterns or general directions of change—increasing, decreasing, or stable—observed in experimental or observational data over time.
