1
A quantitative observation is an observation using
measurable data
graphs, charts, measurements
opinions
the five senses
2
This step is usually written as an "if... then...because..." statement
a problem
an hypothesis
a conclusion
a prediction
3
A branch of science that studies weather
physics
astronomy
meteorology
weatherology
4
Statements that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena
theory
law
conclusion
hypothesis
5
A branch of science that studies chemical reactions
ecology
chemistry
botany
physics
6
An EXPLANATION of an aspect of the natural world
theory
law
conclusion
hypothesis
7
An example of a qualitative observation is
the worm moved to the dark 9 out of 10 times
the worm did not have eyes
the worm had segements
the worm was 7 inches long
8
The founder of the process known as the Scientific Method is thought to be
Ptolomy
Socrates
The Myth Busters
Aristotle
9
Getting information about the problem from books, internet, or using personal experience is
doing the experiment
asking a question
doing research
giving a conclusion
10
Controls in experiments are
the things kept the same in an experiment
all the outcomes
the deliberate change in an experiment
used to compare the manipulated variable
11
the Latin stem for "life" is
bio
graphy
ology
zoo
12
Any changes in an experiment, either accidental or deliberate are called
variables
manipulated variables
accidents
responding variables
13
Qualitative observations are observations using
charts, graphs and measurements
measurable data
taste, hearing, smell
sight, touch,
14
A branch of science that studies the effects of pollution on the air
pollutionology
Environmental science
botany
physics
15
Discussion of whether results supported the hypothesis and changes for the next experiements
the observations
the hypothesis
the conclusion
the procedure
16
The type of graph comparing data would be a:
bar graph
pie graph
Venn diagram
line graph
17
A complete list of materials and detailed instructions on how to do the testing is called the
experiment
conclusion
procedure/experiment
testing of the hypothesis
18
One reason scientists use the scientific method is that experiments
easy to follow
are precise
look official
can be done over and over and get the same results
19
The second step in the Scientific Method is
Ask a question
Do research
Write an hypothesis
Do the experiment
20
An example of a quantitative observation is
the worm was 7 inches long
The worm did not like the light
the worm moved to the light 1 out of 10 times
the worm was segmented
21
A branch of science that studies stars' life cycle
Ecology
Botany
Astronomy
physics
22
The best type of graph that shows change over time is
scatter plot
bar graph
pie graph
line graph
23
A branch of science that studies the velocity of an object
Physics
Ecology
Velocityology
Botany
24
An independent variable is the
ONE thing you deliberately change
outcomes of the experiment
variable that doesn't change
often called the manipulated variable
25
A dependent variable is
the deliberate changes in the experiment
the things that never change in an experiment
Anything that happens because of the independent variable
the qualities of the test subjects
