Nature of Science/Scientific Method Review

What is the control group in the scenario?

This is the variable that the scientist measures.

Different scientists may get diffferent solutions to the same problem.

Look at the picture. How would you describe the statement: "The animal must be jumping because it has no wings to fly"

Look at the picture. How would you describe the statement: "The animal has 4 legs and a tail."

A testable prediction.

Science is concerned with understanding how nature and the physical world work.

What is the dependent variable in the scenario?

Science can prove anything, solve any problem, or answer any question.

A well-tested, highly probable explanation for a large set of observations.

A statement or piece of information that is accepted to be true because it is based on observations.

This must be made using the 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch)

Choose the quantitative data:

Any study done carefully and based on observation is automatically scientific.

This is the variable that the scientist changes.

Look at the picture. How would you describe the statement: "Animals that can fly usually have wings"

Science produces absolute facts that can never be changed.

A scientific theory is just a hunch or idea.

What is the independent variable in the scenario?

What is always the first step of using the scientific method?

The kind of knowledge that can be sensed directly. It is based on observations of the natural world.

Choose the better hypothesis:

This is the group in an experiment that receives the treatment.

The more variables that are changed in an experiment, the more reliable the results.

A CONCLUSION drawn from facts and prior knowledge.
