1. Science is the search for relationships that _____ and ____ natural phenome-
na: explain and predict
2. Technology: is applied to science to meet society's needs and goals
3. belief: an acceptance that a statement is true, even without proof
4. physics describes the interactions of (four terms): energy, matter, space and time
5. example of a belief: the chair will support me when I sit on it because it looks strong
6. example of technology: using the principle of cushioning we can make a more comfortable chair
7. example of science: using the principle of tensile strength, we can show people how the chair supports
someone when they sit on it
8. scientfic method: a systematic process to find the solution to a problem
9. what are the two kinds of basic proportionalities in science?: direct and inverse
proportions
10. What are the six steps of the scientific method by Karl Pearson: 1. identify the
problem
2. gather information
3. form a hypothesis
4. expand hypothesis
5. test hypothesis
6. evaluate hypothesis
11. increase in force and increase in acceleration is an example of what kind of
proportion?: direct
12. increase in pressure and decrease in volume is an example of what kind of
proportion?: inverse
13. a good hypothesis is both: plausible and testable
14. you drop a ball the drop it again from a higher height and time it again. you
drop the same ball every trial. What are the DV, IV and control?: DV- time of fall
IV- height of drop
Control- mass of ball
15. bias: prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way
considered to be unfair.
