Scientific Process
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the scientific method and why do we use it | The Scientific Method is the way scientists gather and use information.We use it because validates observations |
| What are the steps of the Scientific method | 1.Observe,2.Question,3.Research,4.Predict,5.Experiment ,6.Draw Conclusions,7.Replicate,8.Report |
| How is a hypothesis different from a guess? | A hypothesis is a testable question, A guess is based on knowledge and past information |
| What is inductive reasoning provide examples | Ability to combine pieces of information that seem unrelated to form rules. Every dog I’ve met at the park has been friendly. Therefore, all dogs at the park are friendly. |
| What is deductive reasoning, provide examples | A general principle (premises) assumed to be true and determines what must logically follow. |
| Why is it important to share findings and allow for replication? | Your peers can check your experiment for problems within the process or conclusion |
| Scientific Theory: What is it and how do we create one? | supported by many fields of evidence/broad explanation that apply to many situations Created by observation, testing hypothesis and peer review |
| What is the difference between Science and Pseudoscience | Science uses the scientific method Pseudoscience does not |
| What makes a experiment controlled? | When one variable is controlled |
| What is the Independent Variable (IV):definition and role in experiment | which is the exact factor that the researcher changes or manipulates to test its effects. The IV is what you are changing in the experiment |
| Where is the IV typically placed on a graph? | The x-axis |
| Dependent Variable (DV):Definition and role in an experiment. | The final result of what your changing |
| Where is the DV typically placed on a graph? | y-axis |
| Control Group:Purpose and characteristics. | Shows what will happen without the intervention |
| How does the Control group differ from the experimental group? | The experimental group is the group that receives the change while the controlled group does not. |
| Experimental Group:Purpose and characteristics. | Group that is getting a specific change |
| How does it differ from the control group? | It is getting a actual experiment while the control group either doesn't get anything or gets a placebo |
| Controls: What are "controls" in an experiment, and why are they crucial? | Show that changes happen because of the tested variable and not by outside factors |
| Qualitative Data: Definition and examples. | data representing info and concepts that are no represented by numbers. Customer interview Responses |
| Quantitative Data: Definition and examples. | Data represented numerically Numerical values that can be measured |
| Organizing Data: How can data be organized for interpretation? | Can be organized in graphs such as a bar of line graphs |
| What are important elements of a graph (e.g., descriptive title, units)? | Title, unit,IV, DV, key, |
| What is the purpose of a conclusion in the scientific method? | Supports or rejects hypothesis |
| Why is it important to support conclusions with data? | Summarizes data so peer reviews can look over it and agree of disagree |
| What are ethics in a scientific context? | Honestly report data results ,procedures and publication status |
| Worldview: How can different worldviews influence the interpretation and application of scientific data? | it enables us to live an examined life, making sense of ourselves and our surroundings |
