|
|
Gram
|
The base unit of mass
|
|
Liter

|
|
Observation
|
Something you detect in your environment using your senses
|
|
Inference
|
A assumption based on observations or prior knowledge. Must be reasonable
|
|
Hypothesis
|
A possible scientific answer to your question based on logic and observations. Must be testable
|
|
Experiment
|
Testing the hypothesis by collecting and recording data. Often use data tables
|
|
Analysis and Conclusion
|
Evaluating your data to determine if your hypothesis correct. Often use graphs
|
|
Repeat
|
If your answer doesn't support your hypothesis, then create a new one and re-test it. If your data does support your hypothesis re-test it to make sure
|
|
Theory
|
Used to explain a wide set of observations and facts . Must be tested multiple time by multiple people
|
|
Quantitative Observation
|
A observation involving measurements, such as temperature, mass, size, distance, and velocity
|
|
Qualitative Observation
|
A observation involving describing the general properties of a material that may be used to identify it
|
|
Direct Observation
|
Things you see
|
|
Indirect observations
|
Things you detect with non-visual senses
|
|
Variables
|
Conditions that change during a experiment, usually more than one
|
|
Independent Variable
|
A variable that you change and have direct control over
|
|
Dependent Variable
|
The variable that changes as a result as the independent variable. A uncontrolled variable
|
|
Controlled Experiment
|
An experiment that test one variable at a time, while all other variable are constant
|
|
Control Group
|
Independent variable is not changed to provide a comparison to the "normal" conditions
|
|
Experimental Group
|
A independent variable that is changed and compared to the controlled group
|
|
Metric System
|
