Science Midterm Part.1

Why do we study Science?

• A proper study of science will lead man to glorify God

• To use scientific knowledge for man’s benefit

• To have knowledge of matter and how it works

• Acknowledge God for who he is and what he does

Choose the correct answers about theory

• Theories can be stated in words

• They are sometimes stated as mathematical equations

• It is a hypothesis that passed many experiments and has the support of other scientists

• It can be proven false

Choose the correct answers about scientific law

• Theory verified by enough observations and experiments and stands the test of time

• Rules you must obey to

• Represents man’s best understanding of how God’s universe works

• Theory -> proven -> becomes a scientific law

Choose the correct definition of Criteria and Constraints

• Criteria = maximum characteristics a design must have to function at all

• Criteria = minimum characteristics a design must have to function at all

• Constraints = any solution that is made to solve a hypothesis

• Constraints = any characteristics required to solve a problem

What is the definition of Science?

• A subject we learn that every school has

• The study of matter and movement of God’s physical creation

• The subject more than a refinement of everyday thinking - Albert Einstein

• The study of matter and the movement of God’s mental creation

Why must Scientists avoid bias?

• Because it is an opinion or personal viewpoint

• Can be true or not

• Influences how the results are viewed

• Because Ms. Moua said so

A scientist has to make sure his or her guesses can be

(1) and (2)

• (1) verified and (2) tested

• (1) verified and (2) right

• (1) solvable and (2) tested

• (1) a survey and (2) experimentedㅇㅇㅏ

Choose all the answers that talk about line graphs

• Shows continuous change

• Good for displaying data that change continuously

• Similar to a bar graph

• There is an independent(x-axis) and dependent variable(y-axis)

Choose all that talk about bar graphs

• It compares the values of items

• It shows how large or small the differences in individual values are

• It is a good choice when showing single values for many items

• It is useful when comparing similar data for several individual items or events

Choose the answers that are correct about box plots

• It displays data along a number line and splits the data into quartiles

• The different boxes show different quarters - 30% of the data in each of the 4 quarters

• The size of each section indicates the variability of the data

• The median splits the data into 2 halves
