    Study Notes

    Scientific Method

    • A systematic process used to develop and test scientific knowledge

    Observation

    • A careful and deliberate act of noticing and recording a phenomenon or event
    • Often leads to a question or problem that sparks scientific inquiry

    Hypothesis vs. Theory

    • Hypothesis: A tentative, testable explanation for a specific phenomenon or problem
    • Theory: A well-substantiated explanation for a set of phenomena, supported by a large body of evidence

    Control Group

    • A group in an experiment that does not receive the variable being tested
    • Serves as a standard against which the experimental group can be compared
    • Helps to isolate the effect of the variable being tested

    Scientific Experiment

    • A controlled and systematic test of a hypothesis or theory
    • Aims to provide evidence that supports or rejects the hypothesis or theory
    • The main goal is to answer a question or solve a problem through empirical evidence
