-
Deductive Reasoning
proceeds from general to specific; in science leads from hypothesis to prediction
-
dogma
established belief, not to be questioned
-
falsifiability
open to be disproven
-
hypothesis
logical explanation for an observed phenomenon based on experience and knowledge
-
inductive reasoning
proceeds from specific to general, in science leads from observations to a specific hypothesis
-
law
explains a specific action, considered to be reliable until disproven
-
observation
sensation caused by one or more of the five senses
-
parsimony (prinicple of)-
simplest explanation is the best explanation until disproven
-
theory
explanation that brings together a group of hypotheses; confirmed through repeated tests
-
Objectives
- list and understand steps involved in sci method
- list and understand characteristics of an appropriate hypothesis and be able to indentify a good hypothesis
- differentiate between deductive and inductive reasoning
- differentiate between theory, law and dogma
- describe and properly apply the various sections of a lab report
-
bar graph
pictorial representation of one time measurements
-
line graph
pictoral representation of data that changes continuously over time
-
pie chart
pictorial representation of proportion each subpart contributes to the whole
-
chisquare test
compare data to a predicted standard often used to compare to mendelian prediction
-
deviation
diff in value between individual measssurements and the mean
-
normal dist
mean, median, mode are indentical
-
one tailed test
a t test used when comparing indentical organisms before and after an experiment treatment
-
stand dev
square root of the variance,small one indicate data tightly clustered around mean
-
t test
test to determine if two sets of data are sig diff
-
two tailed test
a t test used when comparing two diff populations
-
variance
avg of the squared deviations from the mean
-
