The scientific method, when written as a list (instead of a cycle), is still a solid procedure for conducting valid experiments

True

False

The control group does not receive the independent variable and is used as a “benchmark” to compare the experimental group’s results.

True

False

If our data/results do not support our hypothesis, it is most likely due to an error in the hypothesis, so we should revisit/change the “Hypothesis” step first.

True

False

Qualitative gives descriptions and characteristics about the quality of data that can’t be represented with numbers. EX: color, health, happiness, type/category

True

False
