How Science Work Skills Flashcards
Independent Variable
The variable you change
Dependent variable
The variable you measure
Control variable
The things you keep the same in the experiment
CORMMSS
The acronym to design a experiment
C
Change- The independent variable
O
Organism- The organism, its age, pre existing conditions etc.
R
Repeat- Repeat the experiment 3 times
M
Measure 1- The tool you will measure
M
Measure 2- The dependent variable, the thing you are measuring
S
Same- One control variable
S
Same- Another control variable
FLIDUB
The way to draw a table
FL
Full Labels- All the labels e.g. Weight(KG)
I
Independent variable- What are you changing and on the left side of table
D
Dependent variable- What you measure and goes on the right side of the graph
U
Units- Correct units needed
B
Brackets- Putting the measurement in brackets e.g. Height (m)
Percentage change
end value- initial value/initial value*100
SEE
The structure to analyze date
SEE
Statement- The point
Evidence- The data to back up your point
Explain- What does the data show
Reliability
How trustworthy results are. Repeating a experiment is how it can be improved
Accuracy
How close the results it to the actual result. Using more accurate equipment is how it can be improved
Precision
Getting the same results multiple times. Smaller increments is the way to improve it
