A systematic approach to solving a problems or studying a phenomenon and communicating the results to the scientific community
scientific investigation
first step to eighth step of a scientific investigation
Observe ➡️ Asking a question ➡️ Do Research ➡️ Form a hypothesis ➡️ design and perform an experiment ➡️ analyze the data ➡️ draw a conclusion ➡️ communicate results
states that a prediction which is not true
null hypothesis
assumes a prediction is correct
alternative hypothesis
A variable that stays the same and changes the dependent variable
ex. The same coffee brand, percolator, amount, and type of water.
independent variable
A variables that changes because of the independent variable.
ex. quantity of coffee grounds can impact the flavor of coffee
dependent variable
variable that remains the same
ex. perking period
controlled variable/constant
these are factors or condition that are changed or regulated in an experiment
variables
[SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION] this is a tentative testable explanation to a scientific question
hypothesis
these are numbers that are obtained from the use of measuring devices
measured numbers
this is used to express very large or very small numbers
scientific notation
[SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION]utilizes all senses to gather information
observe
[SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION] formulate a question from what was observed
asking a question
[SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION] gather information about the question formulated using reliable references
do research
