Answer 1

controlled experiment

Question 2

A type of logic in which specific results are predicted from a general premise.

Answer 2

deductive reasoning

Question 3

A in a scientific test, that is carried out under controlled conditions, involving manipulation of one or more factors in a system in order to see the effects of those changes.

Answer 3

experiments

Question 4

A is a testable explanation for a set of observations based on the available data ad guided by inductive reasoning. More of a narrow scope than theory.

Answer 4

hypothesis

Answer 5

inquiry

Question 6

A type of logic in which generalizations are based on a large number of specific observations.

Answer 6

inductive reasoning

Question 7

What type of variables have values that are manipulated or changed during an experiment or other test to reveal possible effects on another variable?

Answer 7

independent variables

Question 8

A is an explanation that is broader in scope than a hypothesis, generates new hypotheses, and is supported by a large body of evidence.

Answer 8

theory

Question 9

What is the factor that varies in an experiment or other test?

Answer 9

variables

Question 10

A variable whose value is measured during an experiment or other test to see whether it is influenced by changes in another variable.

Answer 10

dependent variable

Question 11

Answer 11

model organism
