Question:
The Steps of the Scientific Methods.
Answer:
1) What's the Question? 2) Collect information or observation. 3) Form hypothesis 4) Design
experiment 5) collect data and analyze results 6)final conclusion/results
Question:
Reliability.
Answer:
repeatability of findings. An experiment should have the ability to be repeated with the same results.
Question:
Validity.
Answer:
credibility or believability of the research/experiment.
Question:
Controlled experiment.
Answer:
controlled experiment compares an experimental or test group and a control group. Within
controlled experiments, the emphasis is to only have one variable. Sub groups include control and
experimental groups
,Question:
Control Group.
Answer:
a control group provides a normal standard against which a scientist can compare results with the
experimental group.
Question:
Experimental Group.
Answer:
experimental group is identical to the control group except for one variable, the manipulated or
independent variable. all variables that may affect the outcome of the experiment should be the same
in both control and experimental groups.
Question:
Independent Variables.
Answer:
is the variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment to test the effects on the dependent
variable.
Question:
Measurement.
Answer:
the process of determining dimensions or the quantity of something by comparing it to a
measurement unit.
Question:
Ladder Method.
Answer:
,1st - Determine your starting point. 2nd - Count the "jumps" to your ending point. 3rd - Move the
decimal the same number of jumps in the same direction. To convert to a smaller unit: move the
decimal point to the right or multiply To convert to a larger unit, move decimal point to the left or
divide.
Question:
kilo.
Answer:
Thousands (1,000) example: kilometer, kilogram, kiloliter
Question:
Hecto-.
Answer:
hundred (100) example: hectometer, hectogram, hectoliter
Question:
deka-.
Answer:
ten (10) example: dekameter, dekagram, dekaliter
Question:
base unit.
Answer:
ones (1) meter, gram, liter
Question:
deci-.
, Answer:
tenths (0.1) decimeter,decigram, deciliter
Question:
centi-.
Answer:
hundredths (0.01) centimeter, centigram, centiliter
Question:
milli-.
Answer:
thousandths (0.001) millimeter, miligram, milliliter
Question:
Scientific Model.
Answer:
a representation of an object or event that can be studied to understand the real object or event
Question:
Scientific Theory.
Answer:
summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing.
Generally accepted to be true and is evidence based but can be change with new evidence to dispute
it.
Question:
Scientific Law.
