Prototype

Answer 11

A prototype is an original model constructed to include all the technical characteristics and performances of the new product.

Question 12

Hypothesis

Answer 12

A hypothesis is a concept or idea that you test through research and experiments.

Question 13

Variable

Answer 13

Variables are anything that can change or be changed within an experiment.

Question 14

Procedure

Answer 14

A procedure is a listing of what specifically was done in the laboratory during an experiment, step by step.

Question 15

Precision

Answer 15

Precision refers to how close measurements of the same item are to each other.

Question 16

Accuracy

Answer 16

Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value.

Question 17

Scientific method

Predict

Answer 20

To say or estimate that a specified thing will happen in the future or will be a consequence of something.

Question 21

Infer

Answer 21

To deduce or conclude information from evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements.

Question 22

Independent variable

Answer 22

The independent variable is the variable that stands alone and isn’t changed by the other variables you are trying to measure

Question 23

Dependent variable

Answer 23

The dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment.

Question 24

Manipulated variable

Answer 24

The manipulated variable is the variable that you control and change based on the experiment.

Question 25

Responding variable

Answer 25

The responding variable is what changes as a result of the manipulated variable.

Question 26

Sample size

Answer 26

The sample size is the number of participants or observations included in a study.

Question 27

Validity

Answer 27

Validity refers to how accurately a method measures what it is intended to measure.

Question 28

Trends in Data

Answer 28

A trend in data analysis describes the general change in a variable with time.

Question 29

Correlation

Answer 29

A correlation shows a connection between a factor and an outcome.

Question 30

Variability

Answer 30

Variability is the degree to which data in a set varies, or how much difference there is in a single set of data.

Question 31

Mass

Answer 31

Mass is a measurement that refers to the amount of matter that makes up an object.

Question 32

Volume

Answer 32

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a sample of matter.

Question 33

Weight

Answer 33

Weight is a measurement for the force that gravity applies to an object.

Question 34

Percent

Answer 34

Ratio

Answer 36

The relationship or comparison between two numbers of the same unit to check how much bigger is one number than the other one.

Question 37

Line graph

Answer 37

A line graph is a graph that uses lines to connect individual data points. Often used to show changes over time.

Question 38

Bart Graph

Answer 38

A bar graph is a specific way of representing data using rectangular bars in which the length of each bar is proportional to the value it represents.

Question 39

Pie graph

Answer 39

A pie chart is a type of graph representing data in a circular form, with each slice of the circle representing a fraction or proportionate part of the whole.

Question 40

Scaterplot

Answer 40
