Unit: 1. WHAT IS SCIENCE? Test
physical
Astronomy, chemistry, geology, and physics may be grouped together and called the sciences.
inductive reasoning
Drawing a conclusion from observations (data) is an example of:
3,000
How many meters are there in 3 kilometers?
2,000
How many milliliters of water would be needed to fill a two liter glass jar?
A literature search
IS part of a scientific investigation.
the general principle or theory is probably true.
If many observations or results of experiments agree with your deductive reasoning, then:
data
Information recorded from observation, tests, or experiments by which conclusions can be drawn is called:
Smaller
Is a milliliter larger or smaller than a liter?
What is the purpose of testing a scientific hypothesis?
It allows you to determine if your idea is correct.
scientific facts Scripture
It is important that a person's philosophy be based on:
Data
Recorded observations are called:
objectivity
Recording of observations should be based on:
the amount (quantity) of mass in the universe has never changed. the known laws of science cannot account for the origin of mass.
Since matter (mass) has never been observed by any process or experiment to be created or destroyed, it would be logical to conclude:
math and logic
The "languages" of the physical and biological sciences are
meter
The length of a piece of rope can be measured in:
Geology
The science of studying the earth and its physical history is called:
measurements experiments library research observations
The scientific method of investigation may include:
scientific
The system that is used for determining scientific truth is called the method.
A well designed experiment
WILL NOT always be able to establish the accuracy of any hypothesis.
1/1,000 = .001
What portion (division) of a meter stick is a millimeter?
a collection of facts a series of observations a conclusion already reached from observations
Which of the following are NOT true for a hypothesis?
theoretical scientist
Which professional uses mostly mathematics in his or her work?
Conclusions inferred from data are always judgments. What we already think to be true will influence our conclusions.
Which statements are true concerning our interpretation of the results of an experiment?
A hypothesis is:
an "educated guess"
chemistry
composition of matter
Scientific investigations.
have been useful in showing the truthfulness of Scripture.
The Law of Conservation of Matter states that:
matter cannot be destroyed or created by known chemical reactions
physics
natural laws of the universe
geology
physical structure of the earth
astronomy
planetary motion, galaxies
meter 2
unit of length
kilogram
unit of mass
seconds
unit of time
liter
unit of volume
A Theory
usually has observation and reasoning in its favor, although it may not be experimentally verified.
