questions with well-
scientific law - ANSWER✅a statement that a particular phenomenon always occurs if
certain conditions are present
,scientific theory - ANSWER✅A scientific theory is an explanation for why things work
or how things happen. Scientists develop theories based on their observations of the
world around them. Theories are based on ideas that can be tested
Whats the point of reveiwing some elses experiment? - ANSWER✅make sure they
have no mistakes in their procedure
how can a theory change - ANSWER✅new evidence is found
how can the results of an experiment be validated? - ANSWER✅someone replicates it
and gets the same results
accurate records arent kept during expeiment, consquences? - ANSWER✅all your
findings are rejected and arent considred to be very valid
Why is repetition important? - ANSWER✅Having many replicates in an experiment
decreases the possibility that chance will affect the outcome.
When scientists conduct experiments, they share their data and conclusions with other
scientists so that - ANSWER✅Other scientists can try to verify the results by repeating
the same procedure.
SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS RESULTS SHOULD BE - ANSWER✅REPEATABLE
benefits of using model - ANSWER✅more accessible, safe etc.
How do theories come to be accepted? - ANSWER✅. A lot of scientific evidence was
found that supported this theory.
best way that today's scientists should gather support for a new theory -
ANSWER✅providing evidence
how theories are affected by new discoveries? - ANSWER✅They are sometimes
modified.
If you have 2 test variables, how many test variables will you have over all? -
ANSWER✅3, because you need something to compare the 2 test too. EXAMPLE- 2
tests, 1 control
If experiment records are not accurate than - ANSWER✅results will be inconclusive
and unreliable.
, scenario: You do an experiment comparing 2 things, After testing you find the difference
betw/ the 2 thing isnt really big SO.... - ANSWER✅Do more trials to see if the
difference in time really is significant.
how many test variables can you have at a time? - ANSWER✅1
Dependent vs Independent - ANSWER✅An independent variable is the variable that is
changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent
variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific
experiment.
climate vs weather - ANSWER✅-->Climate describes conditions over a period of time
longer than a week.
--> weather is the given current atmospheric conditions.
Long-term climate cycles are caused by... - ANSWER✅a. variations in the shape of
Earth's orbit
b. the slow movement of the continents
c. changes in ocean circulation
What is a period with below-average precipitaion called? - ANSWER✅drought
EARTHS LAYER- from inner to outer - ANSWER✅solid dense inner metal core
liquid metal outer core
mantle
crust
where do convection currents occur in earths layers - ANSWER✅mantle
Why is the climate at the equator hot and humid? - ANSWER✅the Sun strikes at a
nearly 90 degree angle there
you leave a pizza outside in the sun. You come back an hour later and the pizza is hot.
Explain this phenomenon b. - ANSWER✅electromagnetic waves from the Sun come in
contact with the pizza. it causes the particles to move faster. heating the pizza.
hows the Sun involved with the water cycle. - ANSWER✅- Sun transfers energy to the
water in lakes, ponds etc. Water then evaporates as water vapor and when the water
vapor condenses, it forms precipitation (rain), then falls back to the ground eventually
flowing back to the original source. aka the water cycle.
consequence of deforestation? - ANSWER✅decreased biodiversity
