Exam Questions & Answers 100%
Solved!
physics - ANSWERSthe study of forces, energy, motion
Chemistry - ANSWERSstudy of atoms and molecules, their structures, and their
interactions to form various substances.
Earth Science - ANSWERSEarth's structure and composition, as well as the processes
that change Earth, such as volcanic and seismic activity.
astronomy - ANSWERSThe study of the moon, stars, and other objects in space
Science - ANSWERSAn organized way of gathering and analyzing evidence about the
natural world.
Precision - ANSWERSa measure of how close a series of measurements are to one
another
SI - ANSWERSis 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 - ANSWERSthe sciences concerned with the study of inanimate
natural objects, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects.
life science - ANSWERSthe study of living things
controlled experiment - ANSWERSAn experiment in which only one variable is
manipulated at a time. Or a condition that is being held constant
independent variable - ANSWERSwhat is being changed
dependent variable - ANSWERSwhat is being measured
control - ANSWERSIn an experiment, the standard that is used for comparison
Observational experiment or study - ANSWERSstudies 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 - ANSWERSa research investigation carried out in a naturally occurring
setting
laboratory study - ANSWERSResearch done in a laboratory
Physical Model - ANSWERSA physical representation of an object. Prototypes and
appearance models are physical models.
conceptual model - ANSWERSa verbal or graphical explanation for how a system works
or is organized
mathematical model - ANSWERSone or more equations that represent the way a
system or process works
Hypothesis - ANSWERSA testable prediction, often implied by a theory
Theory - ANSWERSA hypothesis that has been tested with a significant amount of data.
Explains why something happened.
Law - ANSWERSA law in science is a generalized rule to explain a body of
observations in the form of a verbal or mathematical statement. Scientific laws (also
known as natural laws) imply a cause and effect between the observed elements and
must always apply under the same conditions. Explains how it happened not why.
Observation - ANSWERSInformation obtained through the senses.
evidence - ANSWERSproof
Data - ANSWERSFacts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis
Big Bang Theory - ANSWERSCosmological model that explains the sudden
development of the universe through expansion from a hot, dense state.
plate tectonics - ANSWERSA theory stating that the earth's surface is broken into plates
that move.
atomic theory - ANSWERSa theory that states that all matter is composed of tiny
particles called atoms.
gram - ANSWERSa metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.
meter - ANSWERSThe meter is the basic unit of length in the SI system of units. ... The
previous definition of the meter was one ten-millionth of the distance from the
geographic north pole to the equator, measured over the earth's surface in a circle
running through Paris, France.
