Experimental Design Flashcards
Qualitative
that where the quality of activities, relationships, issues, means, materials or instruments in a specific situation or problem is studied.
Hypothesis
Tentative proposal made to explain certain observations or facts that require further investigation to be verified.
Variable
observed characteristic, quality or property that can acquire different values and is capable of being quantified or measured in an investigation
Procedure
set of actions that all have to be carried out equally, to obtain the same results under the same circumstances
Mass
Physical quantity that expresses the amount of matter in a body, measured by its inertia, and whose unit in the international system is the kilogram (kg)M
Volume
Physical magnitude that expresses the extension of a body in three dimensions, length, width and height
Line graph
They allow changes to be visualized over a continuous range, such as time or distance.
Independent variable
It is the reason, or explanation for the occurrence of another phenomenon.
Analogy
Relationship of similarity between different things
Infer
Deduce something or draw it as a conclusion from something else.
Constant
That doesn’t change. That occurs continuously or repeatedly
Data
Information about something specific that allows exact knowledge or serves to deduce the consequences derived from a fact.
Precision
detail with which an instrument or procedure can measure a variable
Trend in data
They allow you to evaluate how response data has changed over time.
Prototype
The type of rock that used to be a metamorphic rock, prior to metamorphism
Accuracy
It measures how close the results are to the true or known value.
Weight
Force with which the Earth attracts a body.
Rate
coefficient that expresses the relationship between the quantity and frequency of a phenomenon or a group of numbers.
