What is a scientific law?
What is a scientific theory?
What is a variable?
What is the difference between an independent and dependent variable?
What is a controlled experiment?
What is Communicating?
In order to have a controlled experiment the variables (aside from the independent variable) must be _____________
Define an observation.
What are 2 types of observations?
Define an inference.
Define a prediction.
How do observations, inferences and predictions go together?
What is data?
An experiment in which only one variable is manipulated at a time is called a _______
What is a manipulated (independent) variable?
Is this statement an observation, inference or prediction? "The cat is ill"
An ______ is a statement that describes how to measure a particular variable or define a term.
If and Then
General steps that scientists follow to solve problems.
Testable
Put it into a table or a chart.
A summary of what you have learned from the experiment
The law describes an observed pattern in nature and the theory explains why something is happening in nature. Laws cannot change. Theories can.
The scientific theory can change and the scientific law can not change.
Scientific inquiry refers to the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence they gather.
The scientific law describes an observed pattern in nature without attempting to explain it.
A scientific theory is a well tested explanation for a range of observations or experimental results.
Factors that change in an experiment
The independent variable is purposely changed and the dependent variable changes because of the independent variable
An experiment in which only one variable is manipulated at a time
The sharing of ideas and experimental findings with others through writing and speaking.
Exactly the same
Observing means using one or more of your senses to gather information.
Quantitative and Qualitative Observations
An interpretation based on observations and prior knowledge.
A prediction is a forecast on what will happen in the future based on past experience.
After you observe something, you can then make an inference on what you saw. Based on your observation and inference you can then make a prediction on what will happen.
The facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through observations
Controlled Experiment
A variable that is purposely changed
Inference: You cannot observe the cat being ill, you can observe the cat sleeping a lot or thowing up, but you would then infer that the cat is ill based on these observations.
An operational definition
