what is science - CORRECT ANSWER -science is a process for
understanding the world through an intellectual activity, encompassing
observation, description, experimentation, and explanation of natural
phenomena.
What are the scientific method steps - CORRECT ANSWER ->Observe a
phenomenon
>Propose an explanation for it
>Test the proposed explanation through a series of experiments
↓
>Accurate & valid,
or...
>Revised or alternative explanations proposed
key aspects of well-designed expiriments - CORRECT ANSWER -
Controlled experiments increase the power of our observations.
Treatment
any experimental condition applied to individuals
2. Experimental group
a group of individuals who are exposed to a particular treatment
, 3. Control group
a group of individuals who are treated identically to the experimental
group with the one exception: they are not exposed to the treatment
4. Variables
characteristics of your experimental system that are subject to change
how can the scientific method be used to help make wise decisions -
CORRECT ANSWER -Through its emphasis on objective observation,
description, and experimentation, science is a pathway by which we
can come to discover and better understand the world around us.
Major themes in biology - CORRECT ANSWER ->What is the chemical
and physical basis for life and its maintenance
>undestanding hot the world works
>How do organisms use genetic information to build themselves and to
reproduce
what is the scientific method - CORRECT ANSWER -the scientific
method (observation, hypothesis, prediction, test, and conclusion) is a
flexible, adaptable, and efficient pathway to understanding the world
because it tells us when we must change our beliefs.
how to make observations - CORRECT ANSWER -making observations
using our senses about the world, noting apparent patterns or cause-
and-effect relationships.
