Basic science
Seeking to explain knowledge by understanding, natural world through observations, regardless of short term applications 
Applied science
Use science to solve immediate problems
Hypothesis
A suggested explanation for an event tested by experiment
Peer review
A blind process where scientist submit their work, and reviewers determine, if research is logical or original and conducted
Scientific method
1) Observing world around us
2) Proposing ideas
3) Discard/modify ideas based on result
Variable and control
Variable is a part of experiment that changes, control remains the same
Inductive reasoning
Logical, thinking that uses related observations to general conclusion
(Fruits and veggies contain vitamin C, people who eat more or healthier. Vitamin C is an anti-inflammatory agent, reduce throat & nose, irritation)
Deductive reasoning
Logical, thinking, uses general principles/law, to predict an expected observation
(If vitamin C decrease risk of cold people who take vitamin C experience fewer colds than those who don’t)
Scientific theory
General excepted/tested explanation for Phenomena
