Science SIN (Scientific Investigation)
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.
Beam Balance Correct Answer: This is a piece of laboratory equipment used to measure mass in grams.
Bunsen Burner Correct Answer: Equipment used for heating chemical reactions.
Celsius Correct Answer: This is a metric temperature scale based on water's freezing and boiling points.
Control Group Correct Answer: This is an experimental group, used as a baseline comparison, that
receives all the control variables, but does not receive the independent variable treatment.
Control Variable Correct Answer: This is a condition which remains constant, or unchanged, in an
experiment.
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.
Experiment Correct Answer: Scientific procedure followed to obtain results for analysis. This is also a
means to test a hypothesis.
Experimental Variable Correct Answer: This is the condition which is changed within experiment.
Graduated Cylinder Correct Answer: This is a container used for measurement of the volume of a liquid.
Gram Correct Answer: This is the unit of mass in the metric system.
Hypothesis Correct Answer: This is a prediction of the outcome of scientific processes based on analysis.
