1. Research
2. Scientfic observation correct answers 1. *logically gathering/ organizing info
*for knowledge acquisition
*organized way to seek answer to questions
2. *observe and explain relationship between 2 or more variables
*characteristics of it- objective/ public/ replicable
cause-effect (conditions for inferring it) correct answers *experimental condition occurs before
the change, not after
*observable change
*no other variables account for that change
