What is the definition of EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE?

• A testable idea or explanation that leads to scientific investigation.

• A method that is used to study and analyze the characteristics of an actual or theoretical system.

• The observations, measurements, and other types of data that people gather and test to support and evaluate scientific explanations.

• Any factor that can change in an experiment, observation, or model.

What is the definition of OBSERVATION?

• A description of how close a measurement is to the true value of the quantity measured.

• The process of obtaining information by using the senses; the information obtained by using the senses.

• A condition or factor that is assumed to have one value, or remain unchanged, throughout a particular investigation.

• The knowledge obtained by observing natural events and conditions in order to discover facts and formulate laws or principles that can be verified or tested.

What is the definition of INDEPENDENT VARIABLE?

• The process of obtaining information by using the senses; the information obtained by using the senses.

• In a scientific investigation, the factor that is deliberately manipulated.

• In a scientific investigation, the factor that changes as a result of manipulation of one or more independent variables.

• The application of science for practical purposes; the use of tools, machines, materials, and processes to meet human needs.

What is the definition of DEPENDENT VARIABLE?

• In a scientific investigation, the factor that changes as a result of manipulation of one or more independent variables.

• The process of obtaining information by using the senses; the information obtained by using the senses.

• The sum of the items in a data set divided by the number of items in the set; also called average.

• The part of an experiment for which the independent variable has not been changed; used as a way to determine the reliability and significance of the experimental results.

What is the definition of DATA?

• Any factor that can change in an experiment, observation, or model.

• The part of an experiment for which the independent variable has not been changed; used as a way to determine the reliability and significance of the experimental results.

• Information gathered by observation or experimentation that can be used in calculating or reasoning.

• The exactness of a measurement.
