What is an experiment?

Back

An experiment is a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.

Front

Why is it important to repeat experiments?

Back

Repeating experiments helps to ensure the results are reliable and accurate.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How can scientists confirm their results?

Back

Scientists can confirm their results by comparing them with other scientists' results from similar experiments.

Front

What is the significance of measuring variables in an experiment?

Back

Measuring variables helps to understand the relationship between different factors and the outcome of the experiment.

Front

What is the role of a hypothesis in an experiment?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the outcome of an experiment.

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on position, while kinetic energy is energy of motion.

Front

Why is it important to have a control group in an experiment?

Back

A control group provides a baseline to compare the effects of the experimental variable.
