data
data table and graphs
conclusion
summary and interpretation of data results (use 'results [fail to] support')
question
scientific investigation begins with a question
research
with enough research a hypothesis can be made
Hypothesis
w/ a testable hypothesis, you're able to conduct a trial&error process to gather data
experiment
tests a hypothesis, describes materials and steps taken, explain necessary variables and keep accurate record of data, wrapped up in conclusion
Why Do you need Detailed experimental procedures?
in order to accurately conduct an experiment
Controlled Variables
factors that remain the same throughout the experiment
independent variable
changes so that the experimenter can see the effect on other variables
dependent variable
will change in response to test variable
control group
an untested group, usually to spot differences in results
When are measurements Accurate and Precise?
accuracy:(closeness of a measurement to the true value) precision:(refers to consistency of a set of measurements)
How should measurements and calculations be reported to reflect uncertainty?
using significant figures
List the rules for Sig figs.
all nonzero digits are significant, all 0s between nonzero digits are significant, 0s that come before any nonzero digits are not significant, 0s at the end of a # are only significant if there is a decimal, all digits in coefficient of a # in scientific notation must be significant
We measure by Estimating one digit past the _____________ marking (or graduation) on an instrument.
smallest
Significant Figures
a prescribed decimal place that determines the amount of rounding off to be done based on the precision of the measurement (0.0345 - 0.0[3]<1st sig.fig.[4] 2nd [5] 3rd)
List THE RULES for Sig Figs in Multiplication and Division?
answers should be rounded off to the same # of total sig. fig., if given 1 measurement, total # of sig. fig. = total # sig. fig. allowed in answer, only measurements made with specific instrument affect # sig. fig., conversion factors used to convert units do not change # of sig. fig.
List the Rules for Sig Fig Rules in ADDITION AND Subtraction?
answer should be rounded off so final digit is in same place as leftmost estimated place, final answer can't have more places after decimal than any given measurements, final answer can't have final estimated digit farther to the right than any final digit in measurements used
example multi./division sig. fig.
72.0 cm 1m/100cm 1dam/10m = 0.072dam 72.0 has 3 sig. fig. and the answer has 2 final answer becomes 0.0720dam
example add./sub. sig. fig.
101.5g + 17.86g 17.86 final digit in 100ths place 101.5 final digit in 10ths place answers final digit must be same place as measurement with final digit in far left place (10ths) 101.5g + 17.86g = 119.36g>119.4g
