ACTUAL EXAM QUESTION BANK
WITH DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
EXPERT VERIFIED FOR A+ GRADE
ASSURED
physics - ANSWERthe study of forces,
energy, motion
Chemistry - ANSWERstudy of atoms and
molecules, their structures, and their
interactions to form various substances.
Earth Science - ANSWEREarth's structure and
composition, as well as the processes that
change Earth, such as volcanic and seismic
activity.
,astronomy - ANSWERThe study of the moon,
stars, and other objects in space
Science - ANSWERAn organized way of
gathering and analyzing evidence about the
natural world.
Precision - ANSWERa measure of how close
a series of measurements are to one another
SI - ANSWERis a scientific method of
expressing the magnitudes or quantities of
important natural phenomena. There are seven
base units in the system, from which other
units are derived. Universal for comparing
data.
physical science - ANSWERthe sciences
concerned with the study of inanimate natural
objects, including physics, chemistry,
astronomy, and related subjects.
life science - ANSWERthe study of living
things
,controlled experiment - ANSWERAn
experiment in which only one variable is
manipulated at a time. Or a condition that is
being held constant
independent variable - ANSWERwhat is being
changed
dependent variable - ANSWERwhat is being
measured
control - ANSWERIn an experiment, the
standard that is used for comparison
Observational experiment or study -
ANSWERstudies attempt to understand cause-
and-effect relationships. However, unlike
experiments, the researcher is not able to
control (1) how subjects are assigned to
groups and/or (2) which treatments each group
receives. ... Therefore, a sample survey is an
example of an observational study.
field study - ANSWERa research investigation
carried out in a naturally occurring setting
, laboratory study - ANSWERResearch done in
a laboratory
Physical Model - ANSWERA physical
representation of an object. Prototypes and
appearance models are physical models.
conceptual model - ANSWERa verbal or
graphical explanation for how a system works
or is organized
mathematical model - ANSWERone or more
equations that represent the way a system or
process works
Hypothesis - ANSWERA testable prediction,
often implied by a theory
Theory - ANSWERA hypothesis that has been
tested with a significant amount of data.
Explains why something happened.
Law - ANSWERA law in science is a
generalized rule to explain a body of
