Nature of Science Vocab 1

What is the Scientific Method?

• A prediction of what will happen based on background information (never a guess).

• Variable that responds to the change, what is measured

• What is the one thing that is changed; what will affect dependent variable in the experiment.

• The steps and all the components of an experiment.

What is a hypothesis?

• A scientific test or procedure that is carried out under controlled conditions to answer a scientific question.

• A prediction of what will happen based on background information (never a guess).

• Factor or condition in a scientific experiment that is purposefully kept the same; conditions that are the same.

• Variable that responds to the change, what is measured

What is the one thing that is changed; what will affect dependent variable in the experiment.

• Hypothesis

• Dependent variable

• Independent Variable

• Prediction

What is a Dependent Variable?

• Variable that responds to the change, what is measured

• The parts of an experiment that have conditions

• Group in experiment that compares to experimental group; the group that is standard, or normally done.

• The steps and all the components of an experiment.

What does it mean to predict?

• The steps and all the components of an experiment.

• Group in experiment that compares to experimental group; the group that is standard, or normally done.

• To state what one thinks will happen under certain conditions based on data or observation

• The parts of an experiment that have conditions
