all of these answers are correct

based on facts & may never be able to be proven

Scientists try to design experiments that will clearly show:

whether a particular variable was the cause of an outcome

The scientific method is

is a systematic, logical way to go about solving any problem

If you conclude that part of your hypothesis may be correct, you

all of these things would be reasonable

The results from the experiment do not match the hypothesis

describe what is being studied...not why it's happening.

In order to be certain about the conclusions of an experiment, scientists should:

do the same experiment many times.

Why is a literature review done?

The identifying a variable & developing a hypothesis

The results from the experiment match the hypothesis

The control Set Up will contain the

Everything the experimental set up has except the variable

the results from an experiment match the hypothesis

After concluding that your tests support your hypothesis, you should:

publish the results so that others can learn from you

Quantifying a measure in a hypothesis means to

put a number or specific value on it

A measurable hypothesis is one that

has an item of proof...something tangible or quantified

A literature review =

Every one of these things plus studying work by scientists

The experimental results happen again, or always getting the same result

When scientists find that a hypothesis is not supported by the tests they perform, they:

have eliminated 1 possible variable & can try another one

is one set of items used to teach an idea or concept

Analyzing the results of your experiment can be

making inferences from the data you collected

Which of the following is NOT one of the seven steps of the scientific method?

making sure the data match the hypothesis

A theory is a scientific idea that is

has yet to be, or cannot be replicated

The results from the experiment do not provide a definate answer

Question: If 6th grade kids are more physically fit than 8th grade kids. Hypothesis: I.I.H.T.

6th grade kids score 80% higher on the P.E. Fitness Test than 8th graders.

Why should only one factor be different between the experimental and control set ups?

If a different result occurs, the one thing different is why

a proposed solution based on facts from a literature review

All of these answers are correct

To know and understand how stuff in the universe works

an interpretation of the evidence available when it's not spelled out

if you have an opinion, you better be able to back it up

Answers

1
An experiment
should be repeated many, many, times to ensure accuracy
all of these answers are correct
has two set ups. A control set up & an experimental set up
is a step by step procedure that must be followed precisely
2
A theory is
based on facts
based on facts & may never be able to be proven
has been proven
has not yet been, or cannot be proven
3
The experimental set up contains
the control
the measure
the variable
everything the control set up has except for the variable
4
Scientists try to design experiments that will clearly show:
whether a particular hypothesis was the cause of an outcome
whether a particularobservation was the cause of an outcome
whether a particular conclusion was the cause of an outcome
whether a particular variable was the cause of an outcome
5
The scientific method is
a guess and check way to arrive at answers to questions
only useful when working in a lab
not effective unless you're a real scientist
is a systematic, logical way to go about solving any problem
6
If you conclude that part of your hypothesis may be correct, you
look for possible errors in the experiment procedure
adjust the hypothesis a little & conduct another test.
all of these things would be reasonable
should check your results or calculations for errors.
7
invalid =
The results from the experiment do not match the hypothesis
The results from the experiment match the hypothesis
The results from the experiment do not provide an answer
8
Pete and repeat are in a boat. Pete falls out. Who's in the boat?
Repeat
I hate when he does that!
Peater
Who's
9
Observations
provide an explanation.
involve using senses to explain why something is occurring.
describe what is being studied...not why it's happening.
are made only after a hypothesis is proposed.
10
In order to be certain about the conclusions of an experiment, scientists should:
have many more items in the experimental group
do the same experiment many times.
keep the number of samples in the control group small
do the experiment only once.
11
When judgments are made without first gathering all the necessary information
preference
variable
bias
control
12
The number of variables an experimental set up should have at one time is
2
as many as you want to
1
3
13
Why is a literature review done?
The identifying a variable & developing a hypothesis
To set up a control and variable
To conclude what is the cause of what's being studied
To prove what you believe is a scientific law
14
valid =
The results from the experiment do not match the hypothesis
The results from the experiment do not provide an answer
The results from the experiment match the hypothesis

one variable
Everything the experimental set up has
multiple variables
Everything the experimental set up has except the variable
16
Validity =
the results from an experiment do not match the hypothesis
Proof that an idea is accepted as a scientific law
the results from an experiment match the hypothesis
17
Which of the following is true about the scientific method?

The steps cannot be rearranged.
It's only used in science. Not for every day life problems
It involves making guesses of of the top of your head.
18
After concluding that your tests support your hypothesis, you should:
none of these things
wait to see if anyone else discovers the same thing.
publish the results so that others can learn from you
keep it secret so that no one steals your idea.
19
Quantifying a measure in a hypothesis means to
make an inference about it.

is invalid
21

Every one of these things plus studying work by scientists
Discriminating between related and non related information
Becoming and expert on everything related to your problem
Reading everything you can get your hands on about a problem

Why should only one factor be different between the experimental and control set ups?
It helps identify mistakes when doing the experiment.
That way, each of the set ups will produce the same result.
If a different result occurs, the one thing different is why
