25
Q

Describe the step of make observations.

A

Observe an environment, condition, or situation.

26
Q

Describe the step of gather information.

A

Gather an analyze information about topics that are directly related to your observations.

27
Q

Describe the step of propose a hypothesis

A

Create an “educated guess” of a possible explanation of your observations.

28
Q

Describe the step of test the hypothesis.

A

Perform an experiment and collect data to test the hypothesis.

29
Q

Describe the step of present and analyze results.

A

Analyze results and the collected data. Results can be examined in many formats such as tables, figures, and graphs.

30
Q

Describe the step of conclusion.

A

Determine how the data supports or rejects the hypothesis.

31
Q

What are the sections of a lab report?

A 
There are five.
Introduction.
Materials and Methods.
Results.
Discussion.
Conclusion.
32
Q

Describe the Introduction section.

A

The topics of the experiment are presented answering these four questions.
What were the topics of the laboratory?
What was the experimenter trying to discover in the laboratory?
What was the hypothesis?
What is currently known about the topic?

33
Q

Describe the Materials and Methods section.

A

The materials that were used in the experiment are presented.
The procedure described in detail so that someone could repeat the experiment.

34
Q

Describe the Results section.

A

The data is presented. This section can include additional visual representations of the data.

35
Q

Describe the Discussion section.

A

Interpretations of the analysis are discussed including the hypothesis and expectations based on what is already known.
This section also includes inconsistencies and possible sources of areas.

36
Q

Why are significant figures important?

A

The significant figures in a number describe the precision and uncertainty of a measurement.

37
Q

How does significant figures work in addition and subtraction?

A

the answer should be rounded so that the answer has the same number of decimal places as the quantity in the calculation with the smallest number of decimal places

38
Q

How does significant figures work in multiplication and division?

A

the answer should be rounded so that the answer has the same number of significant figures as the quantity in the calculation with the smallest number of significant figures

39
Q

What are the characteristics of the anatomical position?

A

There are five.
Standing upright in front of the observer.
Head level and eyes forward.
Legs straight, feet flat, and pointed forward.
Arms at sides, straight, palms facing forward, and thumbs to the side.
Right and left refers to the subject, not the observer.
