What is Repetition in scientific experiments?

Back

Repetition refers to conducting the same experiment multiple times to ensure that the results are consistent and reliable.

What is a Dependent Variable?

Back

The dependent variable is the variable that is measured in an experiment. It is affected by changes in the independent variable.

What is an Independent Variable?

Back

The independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable.

Front

What is a Control Variable?

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence.

Front

What is a Scientific Law?

Back

A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspects of the universe.

What is the purpose of a hypothesis in an experiment?

Back

A hypothesis is a testable prediction about the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.

Front

What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

Back

Qualitative data describes characteristics or qualities, while quantitative data involves numerical measurements.

Front

What is the importance of sample size in an experiment?

Back

A larger sample size increases the reliability of the results and helps to minimize the effects of outliers.

Front

What is the role of a control group in an experiment?

Back

A control group is used as a benchmark to compare the results of the experimental group.
