Glossary
Scientific method:
Hypothesis-
a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
Experiment- a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
Analysis- detailed examination of the elements or structure of something, typically as a basis for discussion or interpretation
Independent variable- a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another.
Quantitative- relating to, measuring, or measured by the quantity of something rather than its quality.
Prediction- a thing predicted; a forecast.
Observations- the action or process of observing something or someone carefully or in order to gain information.
Conclusion- the end or finish of an event or process.
Dependent variable- a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.
Qualitative- relating to, measuring, or measured by the quality of something rather than its quantity.
Research- the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions
Inferences- a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning
Control group- A group used as a standard of comparison in a control experiment.
Problem- a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.
Data- a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.
Experimental group- a group of subjects who are exposed to the variable under study: a lower infection rate in the experimental group that received the vaccine.
Controlled variable- something that is constant and unchanged in an experiment.
