Empirical evidence is information gained through direct observation, experimentation, or real-world experience.

A theory is a well-reasoned and systematic set of ideas meant to explain a group of facts, events, or phenomena.

Law is a system of rules created and enforced by a government or society to regulate behavior, maintain order, and resolve disputes.

An experiment is a planned test or procedure used to discover something new, test an idea, or see how cause and effect work.

A hypothesis is a tentative, testable explanation for a phenomenon or a predicted relationship between two or more variables that has not yet been proven.

A dependent variable is the factor that a researcher measures in an experiment to see how it responds to changes made to another factor.

An observation is the act of carefully watching, noticing, or gathering information about something using your senses or scientific tools.

An independent variable is a factor that a researcher changes, controls, or manipulates in an experiment to test its effects on another factor.

Data is a collection of raw facts, numbers, symbols, or observations that have not yet been processed or analyzed to find their meaning.

A model is a physical or mental representation of something, an example to copy, a specific version of a product, or a person who displays clothes or poses for art.

Engineering is the practical application of science and mathematics to design, build, and improve structures, machines, systems, and processes.

Technology is the practical application of scientific and conceptual knowledge to create tools, systems, and methods that solve human problems and improve daily life.

A prototype is an early model, sample, or release of a product built to test a concept, evaluate design, and gather user feedback before full-scale production

A trade-off is a choice where you give up one thing or quality to gain or achieve something else.

Risk benefit analysis

A risk-benefit analysis is a method used to compare the negative effects (risks) of an action against its positive effects (benefits). The goal is to see if the rewards are worth the dangers before making a choice.

A life cycle analysis (also known as Life Cycle Assessment or LCA) is a method used to measure the total environmental impact of a product, service, or process.

A Pugh chart, also known as a Pugh Matrix, is a structured decision-making tool used to compare multiple competing options against a baseline standard to find the best solution.
