The systematic study of the natural and physical world through observation, experimentation, and testable explanations.

Empirical evidence is information gained through direct observation, measurement, or experimentation.

a system of beliefs, theories, or practices that claims to be scientific but does not follow the scientific method.

An experiment is a test or procedure done to learn something, test a new idea, or see if a hypothesis is true.

A hypothesis is a proposed, testable explanation for an observation or a tentative prediction about the relationship between two or more variables.

A dependent variable is the outcome or thing you measure in an experiment.

Observation means the act of carefully watching, noticing, or listening to something to gather information.

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

Data is a collection of raw, unprocessed facts, numbers, words, or observations that represent events or things.

A model is a simplified representation of an object, system, or idea used to understand, explain, or predict how something works.

Technology means the practical application of scientific knowledge to solve problems, achieve goals, and improve human life.

Engineering is the application of science, math, and creative thinking to design, build, and improve structures, machines, systems, and processes that solve real-world problems.

A trade-off is a compromise where you give up one benefit or quality in order to gain a different one.

A prototype is an early, working model of a new product or idea built to test its design, find flaws, and gather feedback before mass production.
