Science Processes Flashcards

1

Inventing the light bulb through mistakes

trial and error
controlled experiments
engineering by design
observational studies

2

Scientists need a common system of measurements known as the metric system because

Scientists all over the world speak different languages
A kilometer is different than a mile
Ensures same measurements / reduces errors
Robots only use the metric system in their software
