For each vocabulary word you are assigned:

1) In 2-3 sentences, explain (do not just define) the term. Use, but do not just copy, your textbook. You are highly encouraged to use other online resources.

2) Include at least one specific example to help support your explanation. Providing a link or a photo to support your explanation and example is highly recommended! If nothing else, though, include a photo that relates to the topic.

Today's vocabulary words address the remaining two lessons/sections in this chapter. Due Friday 10/4 at the beginning of class.

Quantitative observation is a research method that involves measuring characteristics of a phenomenon through numerical data (data with numbers). Quantitative observation is mainly used for physics chemistry or astronomy. Some examples of quantitative observation would be measuring the length of a flowers stem, counting how many bees live in a hive, recording the temperature of a greenhouse to keep the plants safe or collecting data for medication like flu medication take it and see if you still have flu symptoms.

Predicting means making a statement about what you think will happen or what will happen depending on evidence or things you already learned. when you are predicting something you are making a claim about what will happen before it actually happens. Some examples are like if you were outside and the clouds were gray you could predict that it would rain today. Or if you were cooking and the milk spilled you could predict that it would make a mess.

The definition of science is a system of knowledge about the physical, chemical, and biological universe and the things that occur in it. science has a lot of differt subjects in it and is what make it science. It has biology, chemistry, research, and a lot more. An example of science is the study of gravity, which explains how objects are attracted to each other based on their mass allowing us to understand why things fall to the ground. Another example is the discovery of the structure of DNA, which revealed the genetic code of living organisms, enabling further research in medicine and biology.

Some common synonyms of evaluate are appraise, assess, estimate, rate, and value.

Proper evaluation involves considering multiple perspectives, using varied methods, and making sure you take a full approach to whatever is being evaluated. An example of "evaluating" would be: a teacher giving a test.

If you are a scientist or engineer, you might need to know the words observing and inferring. Inferring means making a conclusion or an educated guess that is backed up by evidence and reasoning. Inferring can lead to hypotheses, which can lead to an even bigger problem. A good example for inferring would be if a frog lived in a swamp and ate in a swamp and never leaves the swamp, you could infer that the frogs habitat is the swamp. Observing in science terms means noticing something and taking a count of it. It also means you see something and gather information to learn more about it. A example of observing would be looking or observing a birds nest and wondering what type of bird lives up there.

classifying means dividing a group of things into smaller more specific groups. to Classify you have to find the small things that make them different from each other and what makes them the same. one example is if you have a group of shapes you could put all of the quadrilaterals into one group and the triangles into their own group.

# data[].attributes.body
Qualitative observations are when you use your senses to figure out characteristics or qualities of a phenomenon. this would be used in these type of subjects social sciences, education, healthcare marketing, and design. Some examples of this is looks at the hardness of a rock to figure out what type of rock it is, or looking at the facial expressions of a dog to see if its happy or sad.

skepticsm is having an attitude of doubt. Skepticism keeps a scientist from accepting ideas that may be untrue. 2 examples of this is someone telling to make an experiment if humans can breathe in space, most people know that you can't breathe in space. Another example is someone telling you to do an experiment to see if peanut butter is actually an allergy, most people know that peanut is an actually peanut butter

Objective is when you're not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing fact. An example of this is your studying history and the person your studying does something you don't like but they're still a good person in general you cant let that influence your judgement of that person since there impact on history Is important.

Inductive reasoning is taking data and observations and making it into one big conclusion. It also involves taking the best ideas and combining them all together. An example is like if you eat something sweet and you get a stomach ache you could conclude that every time you eat sweet food you get a stomach ache.

Ethics is the study of moral principles and how they guide people's behavior and making decision. It can also refer to the standards of right and wrong that people use to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. An example of ethics would be a doctor prioritizing a patient's well-being and privacy by not sharing sensitive medical information without consent.

# data[].attributes.body
a personal bias is when it comes from a person's likes and dislikes. so if you like something you think everyone should like the thing you like. one example is if you like a book you think everyone else should like that book.

# data[].attributes.body
A hypothesis is an explanation or prediction about a phenomenon in the natural world that can be tested using the scientific method. An example of this is your doing a project about fries and you have a question if deep fried or oven baked fries can you tell a difference between them, you would the scientific method to figure out your question.

# data[].attributes.body
A controlled experiment is only changing one variable or thing about the experiment to see what would happen. A good example would be planting 2 pots with bean sprouts in them and only watering one for a week, after a week the one who got water would have 9/10 sprouts while the pot which didn't have water would have 0/10 sprouts.

# data[].attributes.body
Data are facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through qualitative and quantitative observations. An example of this would be getting information on chickens to see if its better to leave them out if a cage or in a cage and you would get that information with numbers and obsevations

# data[].attributes.body
a responding variable is the variable that is observed to see how it changes. It also is something that gets compared to how it changes compared to another variable. An example could be that testing the effect of different dirt on plant growth

# data[].attributes.body
cultural bias is like you personal idea or opinion.Some examples are understanding right from wrong .

# data[].attributes.body
Something that is subjective is based on personal opinions and feelings rather than on facts. Definition of subjective. Subjective means based on, or influenced by, personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
Variables are anything that can change or be changed within an experiment. Scientists will use variables to ensure they can pinpoint the cause of their experimental results. A "variable" is a characteristic or quantity that can change or take on different values, like a person's height, age, temperature outside, test score, or gender

# data[].attributes.body
Testing the hypothesis that plants grow faster under a specific type of light by setting up an experiment where different plant seedlings are grown under different colored lights and measuring their height over time

# data[].attributes.body
a manipulated variable is when the variable is purposely changed to to test the hypothesis. so if you have a hypothesis and you want to test it you would change the variable to see if it's right. 1 example is if your test how much weight a shelf can hold you might change the weight to see if your hypothesis was right.
