Study Notes

Scientific Inquiry

  • Employs structured strategies to explore natural phenomena.
  • Essential for developing knowledge and understanding in scientific disciplines.

Hypothesis

  • Represents a testable prediction or explanation for a specific phenomenon.
  • Serves as a foundational element in the scientific method.

Observation

  • Involves gathering information through sensory experience or scientific tools.
  • Critical for accurate data collection and understanding phenomena.

Conclusion

  • Summarizes the results of a scientific investigation.
  • Helps determine the validity of the hypothesis and informs future research direction.

Quantitative

  • Relates to data that can be quantitatively measured and represented numerically.
  • Examples include height, weight, temperature, and time.

Qualitative

  • Involves descriptive data that characterizes qualities or characteristics.
  • Important for understanding context, perceptions, and experiences.
