SCIENCE 1109 ST

science

• an unproven theory temporarily accepted to provide basis for further investigation
• a numerical estimate to the nearest power of ten
• a man's organized knowledge of God's creation

scientific law

• a general principle that attempts to explain a problem
• a statement of how close a measurement is to the correct value
• a theory that has consistently passed repeated experimentation and observation

theory

• a numerical estimate to the nearest power of ten
• a general principle that attempts to explain a problem
• all accurate figures plus one estimated last figure

hypothesis

• a numerical estimate to the nearest power of ten

scientific method

• comparison of an unknown quantity with a known, fixed unit
• the means by which a scientist arrives at a solution
• the smallest accurate measurement that can be made with an instrument

measurement

• all accurate figures plus one estimated last figure
• the means by which a scientist arrives at a solution
