This is a system of knowledge and the methods you use to find that knowledge.

What is science?

Science is interdependent on this, the use of knowledge to solve practical problems.

What is technology?

Earth and Space Science, Life Science and Physical Science are the branches of this.

What is natural science?

This is the study of the composition, structure, properties and reactions of matter.

What chemistry?

This is a proposed answer to a question

What is a hypothesis?

This is an organized plan for gathering, organizing, and communicating information.

What is a scientific method?

These are other names for the manipulated and responding variables.

What are independent and dependent variables?

The goal of any scientific method is this.

What is to solve a problem or to better understand an observed event?

These describe observed patterns in nature without attempting to explain them.

What are scientific laws?

The explanation of scientific laws are provided by these well- tested explanations for sets of observations or experimental results.

What are scientific theories?

This makes very large and very small numbers easier to work with.

What is a scientific notation?

This is the set of measuring units used by scientists.

What is SI or International System or System Internationale?

These are the units for length, mass and time

What are meters, kilograms and seconds?

This is a gauge of how exact a measurement is and is determined by significant figures.

What is precision?

This is how close a measurement is to its actual value.

What is accuracy?

Data tables and graphs are two ways scientists can organize this.

What is data?

This is equal to the rise of a line on a graph divided by its run.

What is slope?

In this kind of proportion, the ratio between two variables is constant.

What is a direct proportion?

In this type of proportion, the product of two variables remains constant.

What is an inverse proportion?

Scientists communicate their results by doing this.

What is writing in scientific journals or speaking at conferences?

Geology and astronomy are both sub-branches of this branch of natural science.

What is Earth and Space Science?

This is a measure of how much space something takes up

What is volume?

The mass of an object divided by its volume will tell you this.

What is a density?

These make it easier to understand things that might be too difficult to observe directly.

What are models?

True or false: All scientists always interpret the same data in the same way

What is false?
