WGU C165 Integrated Physical Sciences 2025 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT
ANSWERS) A+ GRADED | ALREADY PASSED!!
physics - ANSWER✔✔-the study of forces, energy, motion
Chemistry - ANSWER✔✔-study of atoms and molecules, their structures, and their
interactions to form various substances.
Earth Science - ANSWER✔✔-Earth's structure and composition, as well as the processes
that change Earth, such as volcanic and seismic activity.
astronomy - ANSWER✔✔-The study of the moon, stars, and other objects in space
Science - ANSWER✔✔-An organized way of gathering and analyzing evidence about
the natural world.
Precision - ANSWER✔✔-a measure of how close a series of measurements are to one
another

,SI - ANSWER✔✔-is 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 - ANSWER✔✔-the sciences concerned with the study of inanimate
natural objects, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects.
life science - ANSWER✔✔-the study of living things
controlled experiment - ANSWER✔✔-An experiment in which only one variable is
manipulated at a time. Or a condition that is being held constant
independent variable - ANSWER✔✔-what is being changed
dependent variable - ANSWER✔✔-what is being measured
control - ANSWER✔✔-In an experiment, the standard that is used for comparison
Observational experiment or study - ANSWER✔✔-studies 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 - ANSWER✔✔-a research investigation carried out in a naturally occurring
setting
laboratory study - ANSWER✔✔-Research done in a laboratory

,Physical Model - ANSWER✔✔-A physical representation of an object. Prototypes and
appearance models are physical models.
conceptual model - ANSWER✔✔-a verbal or graphical explanation for how a system
works or is organized
mathematical model - ANSWER✔✔-one or more equations that represent the way a
system or process works
Hypothesis - ANSWER✔✔-A testable prediction, often implied by a theory
Theory - ANSWER✔✔-A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant amount of
data. Explains why something happened.
Law - ANSWER✔✔-A 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 - ANSWER✔✔-Information obtained through the senses.
evidence - ANSWER✔✔-proof
Data - ANSWER✔✔-Facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis
Big Bang Theory - ANSWER✔✔-Cosmological model that explains the sudden
development of the universe through expansion from a hot, dense state.

, plate tectonics - ANSWER✔✔-A theory stating that the earth's surface is broken into
plates that move.
atomic theory - ANSWER✔✔-a theory that states that all matter is composed of tiny
particles called atoms.
gram - ANSWER✔✔-a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.
meter - ANSWER✔✔-The 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.
second - ANSWER✔✔-SI base unit for time
Celsius - ANSWER✔✔-Metric unit for measuring temperature; On this scale water
freezes at zero and boils at 100.
Kelvin - ANSWER✔✔-The SI base unit of temperature
liter - ANSWER✔✔-Basic unit of volume in the metric system
Metric Prefixes - ANSWER✔✔-Giga, Mega, Kilo, deci, centi, milli, micro, nano
derived unit - ANSWER✔✔-A unit defined by a combination of base units
direct relationship - ANSWER✔✔-a relationship in which one variable increases with
an increase in another variable
