Which list is in the correct order that a scientist might follow during an experiment?

Collect Data -> Analyze Data ->Conclude

Collect Data -> Form Hypothesis -> Create a Question

Form a Procedure -> Ask a question-> Form an opinion

Analyze Data -> Run an experiment -> Form a Procedure

Which phrase best describes why a scientist would modify an idea

Scientist gained new data and then debated the change

They wanted to prove another scientist wrong

Scientist had to much information to look at

What does it mean to replicate

performing another scientist's study; following the same procedures

Copy another person's answers down

Complete repeated trials of an experiment to test the authentication of data

Collect data and put it in a chart

What does it mean to go through repetition?

To complete many trials over and over to authenticate data

To change the variables and retest

To copy another scientist's answers

To perform another scientist's study to check the procedure and data

What is the difference between an independent and a dependent variable?

The dependent variable changes based on the independent variable.

The dependent variable does not change while the independent variable does

The dependent variable does not change while the independent variable does not change

The dependent variable is the test variable and the independent is the outcome variable

New evidence doesn't support a theory, other scientist agree with the new finding

technology is used to teach a specific concept

two scientist replicating the same experiment under the same conditions gain different results

Get rid of the data that is different

average the data from each trial together

Scientists frequently repeat the experiments of others scientists. Why is this important in science?

Replication of experiments helps to confirm and verify results.

Scientists often ask each other for help in performing experiments.

Scientists frequently perform other scientists’ experiments in order to practice their technique.

Repeating experiments is an effective way to make sure a laboratory is in optimal condition.

Caira reads in a science journal that replication and repetiton are so important, but she did not understand the difference between them. Which of the following best explains the two terms?

Repetition is when a scientist does the same experiment a number of times; replication is when other scientists reproduce a scientist’s experiment.

Repetition is when a scientist repeats an experiment; replication is when a scientist conducts an experiment on genetic material.

Repetition is when a scientist publishes in more than one scientific periodical; replication is when another scientist reproduces another scientist’s results.

Repetition is when a scientist commits an error in an experiment the first time and must repeat it; replication is when a scientist repeats an experiment to make sure it is valid.
