Explain each concept
□
Life scientists must make careful observations,
and be creative in finding answers by
designing experiments, and recording data accurately.
□
Scientific knowledge is constantly changing
and growing as scientists ask new questions. They find different
answers to the same questions, and use technologies that allow
them to gather information and data in new ways.
□
A hypothesis is a possible explanation
for what has been observed and must be testable.
□
Scientists perform controlled experiments
to test the effects of one factor at a time.
□
The scientific method: Steps that
scientists use to answer a question or solve a problem.
□
Steps
of the scientific method can be in any order, skipped, or repeated.
□
A theory is an explanation for
an observation that leads to a hypothesis that is supported by evidence
collected by testing.
