What is the peer review process and why is it essential? - a form of scientific quality control,
where scientists open their research to the scrutiny of other experts in the field (peers). By reviewing
and criticising each others' work, scientists aim to ensure that only original and sound research is
published and recognised.
FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) in females triggers development of the _______ ________ -
primary oocyte
Theory - -Powerful explanations for a wide range of phenomena (more general)
-Accepted scientific theories must survive rigorous testing and be supported by multiple lines of
evidence
Consistency - The results of repeated observations and/or experiments concerning a phenomenon
are reasonably the same when repeated by investigators
The process of science is... - -A way of understanding natural phenomena using testable
explanations
-The constant search for better explanations of natural phenomena through questioning, observation,
and experimentation
Observation - Any information gathered by at least one of your senses
Inference - An assumption that is based on observations and past experiences
Data - Observations and measurements collected during investigations and experiments
Evidence - A product of data analysis and interpretation; support that justifies conclusions
Fact - An observation confirmed repeatedly by many critical observers
, Hypothesis - A tentative, testable explanation for a narrow set of phenomena (less general)
Prediction - The expected outcome based on the hypothesis
6 criteria to identify science - 1) Consistency
2) Natural
3) Observable
4) Predictable
5) Testability
6) Tentative
Observable - The event under study, or evidence of the occurrence of the event, can be observed
and explained
natural - A ______ cause must be used to explain why or how the naturally occurring event
happens
Predictable - The natural cause of the event can be used to make specific predictions. Each
prediction can be tested to determine if the prediction is true or false
How is the process of science non-linear? - its complex and literative and involves constant
problem solving and revision of predictions and approaches. No single scientific method is followed by
all scientists
Homeostasis - Maintaining a stable internal environment despite changes in the external
environment
