Science Must Know Words

This guide highlights key scientific vocabulary necessary for grasping experimental concepts. Key terms include "control," which refers to a constant factor allowing comparisons, and "dependent variable," which relies on the "independent variable" controlled by the scientist. We'll also define terms like "evidence," "hypothesis," and "inference," and explain the significance of summarizing, analyzing, and evaluating results. Understanding these terms is crucial in interpreting scientific findings and theories effectively.
