Scientific Investigaton
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | How well the results of an experiment agree with the accepted value |
| Analysis | This is a process of interpreting experimental results. |
| Bar Graph | This is a container used for mixing or heating of chemical solution |
| Beaker | This is a container used for mixing or heating of chemical solution |
| Conclusion | This is an answer deduced from the analysis of data |
| Data Set | This is a compilation of information, usually quantitative, that represents measures of a variable or set of variables. |
| Dependent Variable | In an experiment, the condition that results from changes in the independent variable. |
| Equipment Error | This is an error due to some type of equipment malfunction. Often the calibration of the instrument has not been carried out or is faulty. |
| Evidence | This is data from an experiment, which is used to verify or reject the original hypothesis in the conclusion. |
| Experiment | Scientific procedure followed to obtain results for analysis. This is also a means to test a hypothesis. |
| Experimental Variable | This is the condition which is changed within experiment |
| Flask | This is a container used for storage of chemical solutions. |
| Graduated Cylinder | This is a container used for measurement of the volume of a liquid. |
| Graph | This is the image obtained by plotting all the points of an equation or inequality. A visual representation of scientific data. |
| Hypothesis | This is a testable prediction of the outcome of scientific processes based on analysis |
| Independent Variable | This is the manipulated variable in an experiment or study whose presence or degree determines the change in the dependent variable. When graphed this is graphed usually on the horizontal axis. |
| Inquiry | Inquiry |
| Investigation | This is the process of researching or studying a concept. Examination, inquiry |
| Lab Safety | This is the act of being responsible while working on a scientific investigation; following directions, wearing apron and goggles, knowing the location of emergency equipment, etc. |
| Legend | This is used to identify range, data series, and variables within a graph |
| Material Safety Data Sheet | This is an official lab safety form that tells the important properties of chemical substances, such as reactivity, health risk, and flammability |
| Microscope | Equipment used to magnify and observe small objects |
| Procedures | This is the process of steps taken in completing a task, such as a lab investigation. |
| Qualitative Data | This is information from an experiment, such as observations or behaviors, that cannot be recorded with a numerical value |
