Describe the nature of science Scientific ideas change over time as new info is
discovered.
Differentiate between questions Questions can be answered when they can be
that can be answered through the observed or measured by collecting data.
scientific process and those that Questions cannot be answered if they cannot be
cannot observed or measured.
Define a theory in the scientific Explanations for observed phenomena that is
sense supported by a wide body of evidence.
Compare and contrast scientific A hypothesis is made before any research has
theories and hypotheses been conducted, while a theory is a principle
formed based on the research done and shown
in data.
, Identify and explain the steps in the First step is observation. This is essentially where
scientific method. you observe a certain thing occurring.
The next step is doing research about the topic
you observed in order to gain an understanding
of what is already known about the question.
Then you will form a hypothesis based on the
limited evidence you have to make a starting
point for further investigation. The hypothesis
should be precise and testable using data.
The next step would be to conduct an
experiment to test the hypothesis in order to
collect data.
Then with that data, you must analyze it and see
what the results mean.
The final step would be to report conclusions
based on the results and then the process would
start all over again.
Describe the purpose of a null The purpose of the null hypothesis is to see if the
hypothesis test is supported or not (null hypothesis states
that there will be no difference, effect, or
relationship between the variables).
How is the scientific method There is no order for the scientific process as
different from the scientific scientists tend to go back and forth while in the
process? scientific method it is a step by step method
scientists need to follow.
Explain why data supports or Data supports or rejects a hypothesis because
rejects hypotheses, not "proves" you can never really prove a hypothesis correct,
them you can only run tests to support the hypothesis.
There can always be some scenario in which a
hypothesis is incorrect.
Describe a control group It is the group that is left unchanged in an
experiment. It is important because they provide
baseline measurements.
