Control group

Experiment group

Dependent variable

Independent variable

Dr. Smith reads two research papers that present different conclusions about the same question. He knows the researcher who wrote paper a, but does not know the authors of paper be. When asked which paper he thinks has more accuracy, Dr. Smith replies, paper A- "I know that guy." because of Dr. Smith's connection to some of the researchers, he unfortunately could be exhibiting

Bias

Inference

Observation

Skepticism

Jane Goodall spent years with the chimpanzees of Gombe . Sitting quietly for hours she watch the animals closely and took notes about their behavior. What is she doing?

Testing variables

Watching a control group

Making observations

Applying a stimulus

Tamar is talking about evolution with a friend. The friend says, "it's just a theory, so I don't believe it. When they prove it and it becomes the law of evolution, then maybe I'll change my mind." Which of these possible replies best describes scientific principles or the work of scientist?

Scientific theories do not become scientific laws; their explanations for natural phenomena based on evidence. Laws describe what happens, not why.

Science always finds the right answer; the answers that scientists and researchers discover never change

He should be afraid of science because it is based on research and evidence, not bias and opinion

Scientists take each other at their word regarding experimental results, and the public should, too, without checking the data.

Camille notices that the leaves of her potted plants are drooping this morning. The leaves were not droopy yesterday. She decides the plant needs to be watered based on what she sees in the leaves. What has Camille just done?

Calculated the probability of the plant's ability to survive without water

Devised a controlled experiment about the effect of water on plant leaves

Formed a hypothesis based on quantitative data she has collected

Made an inference based on past experience and observation

Which of the following statements about science is accurate?

Science deals with the investigation of supernatural events and mythical creatures

Science is a list of beliefs and facts that is constant and unchanging

Science involves collecting and organizing data about the natural world

Science is the process of finding evidence that supports what you already think, and data is chosen only if it supports your ideas

Micheal's grandmothers taking part in an experiment to determine how well a new headache medication works. In this experiment, the people in Group A are taking The new medication mixed into a pill. The people in Group B, including Micheal's grandmother, are taking a pill that does NOT contain the new medication but has all of the other ingredients as a group as pill. What is group b?

Group B is the control group

Group B is the experimental group

Group B is the independent variable

Group B is the dependent variable

Science began out of humankind's natural Curiosity to understand and explain the interactions and processes of the natural world. Science aims to use these explanations to understand patterns in nature, as well as to address issues that face the natural world and human society. Which statement best reflects the efforts of scientist in pursuing the goals of science?

Scientists make observations and conduct experiments in order to establish their opinions

Scientists attempt to resolve questions fo religious belief with scientific facts

Scientist review and revise current explanations when new evidence arises or advances in technology improve data

Scientists emphasize data that support their hypotheses and ignore data that does not

Which two types of particles are present in equal numbers in an atom, but NOT in an ion?

The small size of the two hydrogen atoms compared to the oxygen atom

The polarity of the molecule, which involves a slightly negative oxygen atom and slightly positive hydrogen atoms

Water covers most of earths surface. The diagram shows the structure of a water molecule. What allows three items in a water molecule to stay together?

Covalent bonds formed by shared electrons between atoms

Covalent bonds formed boy electrons that transfer between atoms

Ionic bonds formed by electrons that transfer between atoms

Hydrogen bonds formed only by the electrons of the hydrogen atoms

What event changes an atom into an ion?

The sharing of electrons with another atom

The gain or loss of one or more electrons

The gain or loss of one or more neutrons
