the process of investigation into the natural world 

What is the scientific process?

Observe something and then ask a question

Ask a question and then gather information

ask a question and then make a hypothesis

Create a Hypothesis and then gather information

What is the first two steps of the scientific process?

Background research/ Gathering information

In this part of the scientific process, you are searching for data and information to create a hypothesis, this is called ?

In this part of the scientific process, you are asking the "five W's"

When creating a question, your question has to be specific and measurable. True or False?

Find previous evidence to answer our research questions

To understand the theory behind the experiment

Design our own experiment using previous techniques that worked and didn't 

Why do we need background research to answer a question?

Peer reviewed articles from other scientists + scholarly articles

When doing background research, we should use what types of information?

When creating a hypothesis, the statement should start with "If, and then" for, example If I drink soda everyday, then I will develop the risk of obesity"

Hypothesis are predicitions of what you think you may find. 

If the results support or reject your hypothesis

If the results can help you answer the question you initially posed.

Can help you analyze the experiment and understand how to better conduct it

When observing and recording your results, what are some things you should look for?

Students in Ms.A's 3rd period class have made a efficient mint-mobile, students in Ms.A's 5th period want to create the same kind of mobile using the exact same steps, what is this called?

Investigate, understand and explain nature + make useful predictions

To understand the world through the five W's

To share results with others so we can change the world

What are the goals of science?

There are 6 criteria's of science, what does C stand for?

There are 6 criterias of science, what does the "O" stand for?

Hypotheses are tested ONLY in a controlled experiment?

(Time Spent Studying) causes a change in (Test Score) and it isn't possible that (Test Score) could cause a change in (Time Spent Studying).

Nathan got a 100% on his test because he studied everyday, Georgia got a 59% on her test due to the lack of studying, they both have Ms.A at different times,what is the DEPENDENT VARIABLE?

Experimental observations yield data, data can be qualitative or quantative. What is qualatative data? 

results from surveys, online reviews and recordings

When discussing qualitative data, what are some examples of qualitative data?

Data that can be broken down into an explanation

When discussing types of data, what is quantitative data represented as?

How can we measure the ways that science is durable?

When discussing quantative data, what are some of the measurable data you can use as an example?

Consistent, Observable, Natural, predictable, testable,tentativeness

What is the acronym for the six criterias of science?

Understanding data can help support or reject hyptothesis

Understanding data can help you share results clearly

Understanding data can help you understand if your experiement was worth it

Understanding data can help you analyze the experiment

Why is analyzing your data important to understanding your hypothesis?

Evidence - Test results and/or observations that may either help support or help refute a scientific idea.

Use the data, and reflect and record that it doesn't support hypothesis

Discard data and do not reflect or record 

When drawing a conclusion about data, and your data does not support your hypothesis, you should?

After you have drawn a conclusion after analyzing your data and it doesn't support the hypothesis, you can use this data to futher investigate new ways to make it support your hypothesis?

This type of variable depends on another variable, in order for there to be an outcome

A step by step plan for a experiment is called?

A testable statement, One of the steps of the scientific method, "If and then" statement

A type of variable that stays the same

If you add salt to water, the water boils at a higher temperature, what is the independent variable?

Just because a hypothesis is supported, it does NOT mean it is a theory because it is not widely supported and theories do not become laws.

"If a hypothesis is supported, it becomes a theory. If  a theory is proven, it becomes a law"

Theories explain, and laws describe

Repetition is the occurence of multiple sets of measurements are made during ONLY ONE scientific invesitgation

Scientific theory is how a natural phenomenon works. Can change when new evidence is presented. 

Replication refers to the process of repeating a scientific study or experiment by independent researchers or different research groups.

A scientists has 3 plants, he gives all his plants the same soil and same amount of sunlight. His results show all the plants have the same growth levels, this is called?
