QuestionAnswer
What is Science? Science is a way of learning about the natural world by gathering information.
What are the three skills scientists use to learn more about the natural world? Inferring, Observing, and Predicting.
What does observing mean? Using one or more senses to gather information.
What are the two types of observing? Qualitative and Quantitative.
What are Qualitative Observations? What are Quantitative Observations? Descriptions that don't involve numbers or measurements. Are measurements(mes.)
What is explaining your observations and are based on reasoning from what you already know? What is explaining your observations and are based on reasoning from what you already
What means making a forecast of what will happen in the future based on past evidence or experience? PREDICTING
Physical Science is.... the study of matter, energy, and the changes they undergo.
Anything that has mass and occupies space is called... MATTER
Energy is... the ability to do work or cause change.
What are the two main areas physical science is divided into? Chemistry And Physics.
The study of the properties of matter and how matter changes is... The study of the properties of matter and how matter changes is...
The study of matter and energy and how they interact is called... Physics
Scientific Inquiry refers to... the different ways scientists study the natural world.
The Scientific Inquiry is also known as the... Scientific Method.
The Process of Inquiry has 6 steps. Posing a Question,?,Experiment,?,Conclusion, and ? Hypothesis, Collecting Data, Communicating
Possible answers to scientific questions or explanations for a set of observations is... Your Hypothesis!!!
All valid experiments must include __________ and _______________ Variables and Controls.
Variables are... factors that can change in an experiment
Variables that are changed in an experiment is the... Manipulated Variable
variables that are expected to change because of the manipulated variable is the... Responding Variable
Changing only 1 variable at a time to be sure that it is that causing the changes in Responding Variable is Controlled Experiment
The facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through observations is called Data
An organized way to collect and record observations are through Data Tables
A useful way to view data because they can reveal trends or patterns in the data are through Graphs
Conclusions state whether.. or not the data support the hypothesis
Communicating is... sharing ideas and conclusions with others through writing and speaking
Pictures,diagrams,computer images,and other representations of an image or process is called Scientific Models
Statements that describe what scientists expect to happen every time under a particular set of conditions Scientific Laws
well-tested explanations for a wide range of observations or experimental results Scientific Theories
Have a Great Day!!!
