Empirical evidence is information acquired through direct observation, experimentation, or experience that scientists and researchers use to test hypotheses and build reliable knowledge.

A theory is a well-reasoned and tested explanation for how or why something happens in the world.

Law is a system of rules created and enforced by governmental or societal institutions to regulate human conduct, maintain order, and resolve disputes.

An experiment is a structured test or procedure carried out under controlled conditions to discover something unknown, test a hypothesis, or check if a new idea works.

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or educated guess for a phenomenon that can be tested through research and experimentation.

A dependent variable is the factor that you measure or test in an experiment, which changes in response to the independent variable.

Observation means the act of watching someone or something carefully, or a comment and remark based on something you notice.

An independent variable is the cause or input in an experiment or equation that you control, change, or set.

Data means raw, unorganized facts, numbers, or symbols that have no context yet.

A model is a representation, pattern, or example of something that helps us understand, copy, or explain how a real object or system works.

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

Technology means using scientific knowledge and human ideas to create tools, machines, and systems that solve problems and make daily life easier.

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

A trade-off is a decision-making compromise where you give up one quality, amount, or choice to gain something else.

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 from its beginning to its end.

A Pugh chart is a decision-making tool used to compare multiple options against a baseline standard using specific criteria.

risk-benefit analysis

A risk-benefit analysis is a systematic process used to compare the potential negative outcomes (risks) of an action, decision, or product against its expected positive outcomes (benefits).
