- Q1What is the main goal of a scientific investigation?To collect as many data points as possible regardless of relevanceTo answer questions through experimentation and observationTo prove a hypothesis right at all costsTo create complex theories without testing30s
- Q2Which step of the scientific method involves making a prediction based on a hypothesis?Conducting experimentsFormulating a hypothesisAnalyzing dataDrawing conclusions30s
- Q3What is the purpose of a control group in an experiment?To test a new variableTo provide a standard for comparisonTo ensure the experiment has sufficient dataTo eliminate all other variables30s
- Q4What is the role of a hypothesis in scientific research?It is the conclusion of the experimentIt is a testable explanation for a scientific questionIt is any guess made during the researchIt is a proven fact that must be accepted30s
- Q5What should scientists do after analyzing data from an experiment?Change their hypothesis to match the dataIgnore any data that doesn't support their hypothesisStop the experiment and start a new oneDraw conclusions based on the evidence30s
- Q6Why is it important to repeat experiments in scientific research?To confuse the resultsTo collect data from different locations onlyTo verify results and ensure reliabilityTo change the hypothesis each time30s
- Q7What does it mean to draw a conclusion in scientific research?To make a judgment based on data and evidenceTo ignore contradictory dataTo guess what might happen nextTo speculate about the results30s
- Q8What is a scientific theory?A simple guess about what might happenAn untested idea or hypothesisA fact proven beyond any doubtA well-supported explanation of some aspect of the natural world30s
- Q9What is the purpose of using measurements in scientific experiments?To create chaos in the experimentTo make the process more complicatedTo obtain quantitative data that can be analyzedTo avoid making observations30s
- Q10How does peer review contribute to scientific research?It eliminates the need for experimentsIt helps validate research findings and improve the quality of published workIt allows researchers to add their grantsIt guarantees that all experiments are correct30s
