TRUSTED TEST SOLUTIONS!
Scientific research Answer: is the systematic investigation of scientific theories and
hypotheses.
a hypothesis Answer: a single assertion, a proposed explanation of something based
on available knowledge, for something yet to be explained. One that is subject to further
experimentation.
the scientific method Answer: a process that helps construct an accurate depiction of
our universe and its processes, in order to answer whatever question they may have!
Researchers observe the world around them, formulate potential explanations for the
phenomena they observe, test their hypotheses out with experiments, and analyze their
results to see if they were right or wrong.
A falsifiable hypothesis or theory Answer: is one where an experiment or another
discovery can prove it to be wrong, untrue, and false.
Peer review Answer: a process where scientific experts not connected to the study and
experiment in question check it for scientific accuracy, proper methodology, and
relevancy, before the study is published in a scientific journal.
Inductive reasoning Answer: is drawing conclusions from evidence. This means a
scientist collects data and interprets it.
Deductive reasoning Answer: is finding evidence to support or disprove your
conclusions. This is where a scientist has an idea and then tests it to see how correct it
is.
ANOVA Answer: analysis of variance, tests the difference in the means of different
groups.
a chi-square analysis Answer: compares experimental data to the results we expect to
get.
disease prevention Answer: . This refers to the process of providing knowledge and
tools for people that enable them to protect their health.
health promotion Answer: the process of enabling people to increase control over their
health and its determinants and thereby improve their health.

the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Answer: Two major U.S. agencies involved in monitoring for disease development,
promoting public health, discouraging improper behavior, and encouraging healthy
lifestyle choices are
Demography is Answer: the study of the size, density and distribution of the human
population.
The pre-agricultural period is the first period of human population growth and was
characterized by Answer: characterized by the development of tools. With new tools
and skills, humans were able to adapt to new environments and expand their range to
new habitats, which resulted in a slow population increase to between 5-10 million
people.
The agricultural period was the second period of human growth and was characterized
by Answer: characterized by advances in agriculture. As a result of increased food
production and healthy food, the human population grew more rapidly to around 500
million people.
The industrial period was the third period of human population growth and was
characterized by Answer: characterized by advances in technology. This period brought
about technological advances in medicine, food production and sanitation that helped
support a rapid increase in the human population to the nearly 7 billion people that now
inhabit the earth.
the carrying capacity, Answer: the maximum population size of a species that an
ecosystem can support indefinitely.
Science is Answer: a field of intellectual study that involves analyzing the structure and
behavior of the physical world through observation. is a method of study that seeks to
explain the world by analyzing the structure and behavior of the physical world.
The scientific method is Answer: the approach scientists use to collect and analyze
data; it involves controlling every variable except one, so that we can see how that
single variable affects a result.
Galileo, often considered one of the fathers of modern science, Answer: was one of the
first to use scientific methods rigorously.
nothing is ever certain, only very probable. science is always open to new data, and
always open to be contradicted. Answer: Contrary to popular belief, science never
