can use to review the material
when you are studying in the
future.
2. You should write a question
from each of the three levels
of Costa.
3. The Note and Diagram area
should not directly answer
each question.
Q1: Level 1
Q2: Level 2
Q3: Level 3
Note AND Diagram Area.
After taking notes, re-read what you wrote. Does it make sense? Highlight areas that you need help with.
Write a 3-2-1 summary statement.

scientificthinking is based on curiosity and skeptism
any scientific inquary starts with an observation
earlybiological reasearchwatobserving describing and categorizing
observations can lead to data which leads to a hypothesis
afterandeveloped a hypothis we test it out
hypothesis atestiblepredictions of a valid hypothesis
one test is notenough the more tests themoreaccuracin
nonsignificant the data shows no effect
statistically significant data shows effect is notsubjecttochange
describe what we useexperiments to test hypothesis
it means to experimentshelpdescribeexplain or observe a phenomenon
conduct an change thatsobservedisallseenthrough an experiment
experiment inthem we use independence and dependent varibles to controldata
and why for a goodexperimentyoushouldonly test one independent
to keep a constant alwayschange independent
theories explain many different observations
the scientific meaning oftheory explanation for a range of
word theory observation and results thats supported with evidence
in scientific theory is the opposite of a scintificlaw mm

Joining independent varible
predict what results hypotheses affectswouldhappen
if while testing testingLanalyzing hypotheses I dependentvarible
your hypothesis data
was incorrect
3 one thing I learned that you use varibles to control data another thingwas
you have to test multipletimes for it to be accurate A third thing was
that scientific law and a theory are opposite
2 something I thought was interesting is now the thinkingprocess goesaround
in a circle Another thing was now everything is tied to another or it all
leads to eachother
I one question I have what would happen if yourexperiment results yeilded
2 different conclusions
