1. What is the Definition of Scientific Model?

A representation of an object or system.

An unproven scientific hypothesis.

A collection of data points.

A mathematical equation used for calculations.

A scientific model is a representation of a real-world object or system that can be used to explain and predict phenomena. It is not just a collection of data points, an unproven hypothesis, or a mathematical equation, but rather a visual, conceptual, or mathematical representation of how something works in the real world.

3. What reasons can scientific theories be changed or replaced?

When there is ample experimental evidence to suggest the theory cannot make valid predictions or when parts of the theory... When there is ample experimental evidence to suggest the theory cannot make valid predictions or when parts of the theory are incompatible with more established theory.

To please the scientific community.

Based on personal opinions or beliefs.

Simply for the sake of change.

Scientific theories are changed or replaced based on empirical evidence and logical reasoning, not personal opinions, community satisfaction, or arbitrary change.

You will lose your funding if you report a failure.If you do not record the input and or output and if you do not learn then it is a failure. But no experiment properly executed is a failure.

You will always get funding regardless of results.

It will lead to immediate success.

There is no value in experimentation.

6. What is the difference between scientific law and scientific theory?

Scientific theories are not based on any laws or observations.

Scientific law and scientific theory are the same thing.

A scientific law is an assumed truth which forms the basis of your theory. Scientific laws are universal and describe... A scientific law is an assumed truth which forms the basis of your theory. Scientific laws are universal and describe observed events. Scientific theories use fundamental laws to logically form new ideas or explain new phenomena. The absolute best example I know of is the law of conservation of energy.

Scientific laws are constantly changing whereas scientific theories remain constant.

Scientific laws and theories are both essential components of the scientific method, but they serve different purposes and have different characteristics.

A method of research that focuses on proving preconceived notions rather than testing hypotheses.

A method of research that involves conducting experiments without any prior knowledge or hypothesis.

The Scientific Method is a systematic approach to conducting research and experiments in order to test hypotheses and theories.

Explanation

The Scientific Method is a systematic approach to conducting research and experiments in order to test hypotheses and theories.

8. What are the components of a data table?

Bar graph

Line graph

Pie chart

This is a Data table.

A data table consists of column headers to describe the categories, row headers to identify the individual data points, data cells with the actual values, and a title for the table. Pie chart, line graph, and bar graph are different types of data visualization methods, not components of a data table.

Explanation

9. What are the components of a line graph?

Pie slices illustrating parts of a whole

This is a line graph.

Dots scattered randomly

Bars representing data

A line graph consists of lines connecting data points to show a trend or relationship over time or other continuous intervals.

Explanation

A line graph consists of lines connecting data points to show a trend or relationship over time or other continuous intervals.

10. What is pure science and how do scientists practice it?

Pure science is the study of fictional or imaginary scenarios and concepts.

Pure science is solely focused on technological advancements and applications.

Pure science involves conducting experiments in extreme outdoor environments.

Pure science is science done in a laboratory. It is also called natural science. Applied science is also called technology... Pure science is science done in a laboratory. It is also called natural science. Applied science is also called technology or engineering. It is done outside. In pure science, a biologist might discover a drug that kills a bacteria.

Pure science involves conducting research in a controlled laboratory setting to uncover basic principles of nature without immediate practical applications.

12. What is the Definition of Technology?

The study of ancient civilizations.

The practice of using tools to solve problems.

The sum of the ways in which social groups provide themselves with the material objects of their civilization.

The process of creating new gadgets.

Technology is not limited to just using tools or creating gadgets but encompasses the overall methods used by societies to meet their material needs.

13. What are the steps of the Scientific Method?

C. Skip asking questions and directly conduct an experiment

B. Make a hypothesis and avoid testing it

A. Observe and jump to a conclusion

D. Analyze results before constructing a hypothesis

These are the steps of the Scientific Method.

The Scientific Method follows a structured approach that involves asking questions, conducting research, forming a hypothesis, testing it through experiments, analyzing results, drawing conclusions, and communicating findings. It is essential to follow each step in order to ensure the validity and accuracy of scientific investigations.

14. What is the difference between precision and accuracy?

Accuracy measures the reproducibility of measurements, while precision is the ability to obtain the same result multiple times.

Precision refers to how close a measurement is to the true value, while accuracy determines the number of significant figures... Precision refers to how close a measurement is to the true value, while accuracy determines the number of significant figures in a measurement.

Precision is the number of places to the right of a decimal point you can get in a measurement. Accuracy... Precision is the number of places to the right of a decimal point you can get in a measurement. Accuracy is how closely your measurement or your measuring device conforms to a standard.

Precision is the degree of certainty in a measurement, while accuracy is the level of detail in the measurement.

Precision and accuracy are often used interchangeably but have distinct meanings in the context of measurements. Precision emphasizes the consistency and repeatability of measurements, whereas accuracy focuses on how close the measured value is to the true value.

The independent variable is the outcome of the experiment, and the dependent variable is the control variable.

The dependent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed, and the independent variable is the observed result.

The independent variable is typically the variable representing the value being manipulated or changed and the dependent variable is the... The independent variable is typically the variable representing the value being manipulated or changed and the dependent variable is the observed result of the independent variable being manipulated.

In an experiment, the independent variable is the one that is purposely changed or manipulated to observe its effect on the dependent variable, which is the outcome or response that is measured. The incorrect options provided do not accurately define the relationship between independent and dependent variables in an experiment.
