CORRECT ANSWERS
Agricultural Revolution - CORRECT ANSWERS A time when new
inventions such as the seed drill and the steel plow made farming easier and
faster. The production of food rose dramatically.
Scientific Method - CORRECT ANSWERS A series of steps followed to
solve problems including collecting data, formulating a hypothesis, testing the
hypothesis, and stating conclusions.
Began with Muslim scientists
Roger Bacon - CORRECT ANSWERS (1224-1294)
Franciscan monk, English philosopher, and scientist in the 1200s who advocated
for a system of scientific experimentation in seeking truth rather than accepting
without question traditional Church and ancient beliefs. This led to the
development of the scientific method.
Early advocate of scientific method
Scientific Revolution - CORRECT ANSWERS 16th Century
A major change in European thought, starting in the mid-1500s, in which the
study of the natural world began to be characterized by careful observation and
the questioning of accepted beliefs.
Nicolaus Copernicus - CORRECT ANSWERS (1473-1543) Polish
clergyman. Sun was the center of the universe; the planets went around it. On
the Revolution of Heavenly Spheres. Destroyed Aristotle's view of the universe
- heliocentric theory.
,Johannes Kepler - CORRECT ANSWERS Discovered planets move in
eliptical orbits
Isaac Newton - CORRECT ANSWERS Derived Kepler's laws from the
second law of motion in 1677
Equilibrium - CORRECT ANSWERS A state which forces are balanced,
resulting in stability
Static Equilibrium - CORRECT ANSWERS A state which the lack of
changes results in stability
Dynamic Equilibrium - CORRECT ANSWERS A state which the
balance of opposite forces results in stability
Empirical - CORRECT ANSWERS A phenomenon must be assessed
through tests and observations.
Scientific Method Steps - CORRECT ANSWERS 1. Pose a question
2. Form a Hypothesis
3. Test the hypothesis
4. Analyze and record data
5. Draw Conclusions
6. Graph your data
Variable - CORRECT ANSWERS A condition that can be changed
Control - CORRECT ANSWERS An extra setup in which all the
conditions are the same except for the variable being tested
, Abstract - CORRECT ANSWERS A summary of the report written at the
beginning of the paper
Purpose - CORRECT ANSWERS Defines and states the problem
Observations and results - CORRECT ANSWERS The recorded
outcomes of the experiment
Conclusion - CORRECT ANSWERS Explains why the results proved or
disproved the hypothesis
Graphing - CORRECT ANSWERS Visually displays collected data or
analysis
Length - CORRECT ANSWERS Measure this with meter
Volume - CORRECT ANSWERS Measure this with liter
Mass - CORRECT ANSWERS Measure this with gram
Data Analysis - CORRECT ANSWERS 1. Tracking and Trends
2. Spatial Analysis and Geographic Distribution: looking at similarities between
a population and other demographic factors.
3. Geographic Correlation Studies: Looking at relationships between
populations
