Science EMI (Evaluation of Models and Inferences)
3D Model Correct Answer: This is a type of model that lets you see it from all sides and, in some cases,
to look inside.
Accuracy Correct Answer: How well the results of an experiment agree with the accepted value.
Analysis Correct Answer: This is a process of interpreting experimental results.
Bar Graph Correct Answer: This is a graphical means of quantitative comparison by rectangles with
lengths proportional to the measure of the data or things compared.
Bias Correct Answer: This is an unwanted influence on a sample.
Closed System Correct Answer: This is a type of system that allows energy but not matter across its
system boundary.
Computer Model Correct Answer: This is a computer program, or network of computers, that attempts
to simulate an abstract model of a particular system.
Conceptual Model Correct Answer: This is a type of diagram which shows of a set of relationships
between factors that are believed to impact or lead to a target condition; a diagram that defines
theoretical entities, objects, or conditions of a system and the relationships between them.
Conclusion Correct Answer: This is an answer deduced from the analysis of data.
Correlation Correct Answer: There is a __________ between two variables when values from one can
be used to predict values of the other. This is not the same thing as causation.
Data Analysis Correct Answer: This is the process of gathering, organizing, and displaying data with the
goals of finding useful information, drawing conclusions, and helping with decision making.
Data Collection Correct Answer: This is the act of writing down the required information you get from a
laboratory experiment.
Data Set Correct Answer: This is a compilation of information, usually quantitative, that represents
measures of a variable or set of variables.
Data Table Correct Answer: This is the correct method of recording numerical information from an
experiment.
Dependent Variable Correct Answer: This is the observed variable in an experiment or study whose
changes are determined by the presence or degree of one or more independent variables. When
graphed, this variable is usually on the vertical axis.
Designed System Correct Answer: This is a system in which people set boundaries, define subsystems
and parts, and may predict inputs and outputs to the system.
