Question

matching
match the term on the left with the best description on the right.
each description may be used only once.

term | description
--- | ---

1. theory | a. factor being tested
2. data | b. an accepted theory that was tested many times
3. newton | c. everything set up the same, but missing the variable
4. law | d. logical explanation for events
5. hypothesis | e. last step of the scientific method
6. variable | f. famous scientist who contributed to the scientific method
7. control | g. information that is often organized in graphs and charts
8. observe | h. testing of a hypothesis
9. conclusion | i. an educated guess
10. experiment | j. first step of the scientific method

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each term and its corresponding description based on scientific method concepts:

1. theory

A theory is a logical explanation for events. So match with D.

2. data

Data is information (often organized in graphs/charts). So match with G.

3. Newton

Newton was a famous scientist who contributed to science. So match with F.

4. law

A scientific law is an accepted theory tested many times. So match with B.

5. hypothesis

A hypothesis is an educated guess. So match with I (note: the description “An educated guess” is labeled as I here).

6. variable

A variable is the factor being tested. So match with A.

7. control

A control group has everything the same but missing the variable. So match with C.

8. observe

Observing is the first step of the scientific method. So match with J.

9. conclusion

The conclusion is the last step of the scientific method. So match with E.

10. experiment

An experiment is the testing of a hypothesis. So match with H.

Final Matches:

1. theory → D
2. data → G
3. Newton → F
4. law → B
5. hypothesis → I
6. variable → A
7. control → C
8. observe → J
9. conclusion → E
10. experiment → H
