- Q1If you can do something over and over in the same way, you areValidPreciseConsistentAccurate300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q2Consistent in science meansmeasuring the correct thingdoing an measurement over and over againnot measuring the wrong thingDoing a measurement over and over again and getting the same answer300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q3Reliable in science meansDoing the measurement correctly.Only you can do the measurement.Anyone can do the same measurements as you.Doing a measurement over and over.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q4What does it mean if anyone can do the same measurement as you?It is ConsistentIt is ValidIt is Reliable.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q5A Valid measurement means you aregetting the same answer over and over againmeasuring what you are supposed to and nothing is interfering with it.anyone can do the same measurement as you300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q6If nothing interferes with your measurement and you are measuring what you are supposed to be measuring, the measurement isConsistentReliableValid300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q7The data comparing Mass to Energy in candy bars is NOTAccurateConsistentValid300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q8The data in this table comparing Mass to Energy in a Candy Bar is not consistent becauseThe question is wrong and the measurements for mass and energy is consistent.the mass of the candy bar goes up but the energy of the candy bar goes down instead so they don't match in the same way.the mass of the candy bars is always increasing but the energy in the candy bars goes up and down. If it was consistent, the energy go up the same way the mass the mass goes up.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q9A student said that if a candy bar has more mass, it will have more energy. His idea is not accurate becauseThe data comparing the mass of a candy bar and the energy in a candy bar is NOT RELIABLE.The data comparing the mass of a candy bar and the energy in a candy bar is NOT VALID.The data comparing the mass of a candy bar and the energy in a candy bar is NOT CONSISTENT.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q10Mikaela exactly repeated Bob's experiment. Her data came out completely different. This means someones data is NOTVALID because something changed one of their the measurements because the data should have been consistent between the experimentsRELIABLE because Mikaela could not do the experiment the same as Bob.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q11Mikaela repeated Bob's experiment. He used different candy bars but she used all the same candy bars. This means someones data is NOTRELIABLE because Mikaela could not do the experiment the same as Bob.VALID because something changed one of their the measurements because the data should have been consistent between the experiments300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q12Eduardo does an experiment where he feeds his dog a secret ingredient he invented. His experiment shows his dog was able to run faster after getting fed his secret ingredient. His friend, Gwen wants to test his ingredient on her dog but Eduardo won't let her have the ingredient. He experiment is NOTCONSISTENT because every time he did the experiment, his dog ran a different speed.RELIABLE because only he can do the experiment and no one else can.VALID, because he did not use different dogs in his experiment.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q13John says the photo is a picture of a real fairy he took last night and it proves they are real. Why can't you trust that his photo is not accurate?It was too blurry to be ACCURATE.It was taken with his phones camera so it is not VALID.No one else can take another picture like it so it is not RELIABLE.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q14John says the photo is a picture of a real fairy he took last night and it proves they are real. Why can't you trust that his photo is not accurate?It was too blurry to be ACCURATE.The photo could have been faked so you don't know if it is VALID.It was taken with his phones camera so it is not VALID.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
- Q15Jayna says the band 2Ge+er is the best band ever. Her statement is an OPINION/BELIEF becauseThere is no way to measure it and get CONSISTENT data on the band being the best.The are tools used by scientist that give VALID measurements showing the band =EYES is better.There are other bands that have been proven to be better using RELIABLE data.300s6.3.A: Scientific Investigation and Reasoning
