What is involved in testing a hypothesis?

• Conducting an experiment.

• Writing a research paper.

• Collecting anecdotal evidence.

• Reading existing literature.

How do scientific laws and theories differ?

• Scientific laws are predictions of future events; scientific theories are based on observations.

• Scientific laws are descriptions of events; scientific theories are explanations for events.

• Scientific laws are always true; scientific theories can be proven false.

• Scientific laws are more important than scientific theories in research.

Why is it important to repeat experiments?

• To verify results and ensure reliability.

• To make the experiment more complicated.

• To reduce the time taken for the experiment.

• To increase the number of variables involved.

What is the first step in every scientific experiment?

• To conduct a literature review.

• To identify a question or problem.

• To formulate a hypothesis.

• To analyze the data.

What is scientific inquiry?

• Scientific inquiry is the process of asking questions and seeking answers through investigation.

• Scientific inquiry is a method of memorizing facts and figures.

• Scientific inquiry involves conducting experiments without any questions.

• Scientific inquiry is the process of accepting information without evidence.

What is the scientific method?

• A systematic approach to problem-solving that involves observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and conclusion.

• A random guessing technique used in experiments.

• A method that relies solely on intuition and personal beliefs.

• A process that avoids any form of experimentation.

What is a scientific law?

• A scientific law is a theory that explains why things happen.

• A scientific law describes a pattern or event in nature that is always true.

• A scientific law is a hypothesis that has not been tested.

• A scientific law is a guess about how the universe works.

What is a variable in an experiment?

• A variable is a constant factor that does not change.

• A variable is any factor that can change in an experiment.

• A variable is the outcome that is measured in an experiment.

• A variable is a type of equipment used in experiments.

What is the result of scientific inquiry?

• Scientific inquiry often results in the development of new technologies.

• Scientific inquiry leads to the discovery of ancient artifacts.

• Scientific inquiry is primarily focused on philosophical questions.

• Scientific inquiry guarantees immediate solutions to problems.

What is a control in an experiment?

• A variable that is changed during the experiment.

• A standard for comparison in an experiment.

• The outcome that is measured in the experiment.

• A method of collecting data in an experiment.
