Year 11 Investigating Science Exam Revision

What do we call an educated guess on the outcome of an experiment, written as If...then...because...

Controlling all variables and designing an experiment that truly tests a hypothesis is a means of improving:

Using appropriate measuring equipment is a means of improving:

Which scientist discovered radioactivity?

The law that allowed electrical resistance to be predicted

Which option lists ONLY theories and no laws?

The purpose of using models is to:

US crude oil imports from Norway correlates to the number of drivers killed by trains

Repeating an experiment many times and consistently achieving the same result is a means of improving:

What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?

Four forms of evidence for plate tectonic theory are:

Humans are able to recognise patterns in nature. An example we studied is:

Interpreting and judging phenomena from a particular cultural viewpoint is called cultural bias.

Spontaneous generation theory was assumed to be correct until

Evidence that supports the Big Bang theory and NOT Steady State theory:

Which model of the universe was proposed by Copernicus?

Aim: Does light colour affect plant growth rate. What are the Controlled variables?

Aim: Does light colour affect plant growth rate. What is the Independent Variable?

Experts in the field review a scientific journal article before it is published. This is called:

On a graph, what do we call the straight or curved line that is drawn to satisfy the majority of data points?

Making a comparison between a living cell and a factory is an example of which type of model?

Both the independent and dependent variables are quantitative. How should this data be presented?

Which scientist determined that most of an atom's mass is concentrated in its nucleus?

All scientific investigations start with:

climate-change models are quite difficult to produce because

crude oil imports to Norway do NOT necessarily cause drivers to be killed by trains

Which observational tool allowed for evidence against the geocentric model?

Computer simulated epidemic models use data on

Name the fungus that Fleming noticed prevented the growth of bacteria on an agar plate

Primary data is that collected by experimentation, not from textbook research.

The Law of Superposition states that the oldest rock layers and fossils are found deeper in the Earth's crust.
