Across
- 4. A summary of the findings and results obtained from a study or experiment. Conclusions are drawn based on the analysis of data and are used to answer the research question or test the hypothesis.
- 6. Question: A specific query or inquiry that guides the research process. It helps define the scope and purpose of a study.
- 8. Pertaining to non-numerical data or information that is descriptive in nature. Qualitative research often involves the analysis of textual or visual data to identify patterns, themes, or meanings.
- 9. A controlled procedure carried out to test a hypothesis or gather data. Experiments are a crucial part of the scientific method and allow researchers to manipulate variables to observe their effects.
- 11. A testable statement or prediction that can be evaluated through experimentation and observation. It serves as the foundation for scientific research.
Down
- 1. Drawing conclusions or making predictions based on available evidence and reasoning. In scientific research, inferences are often made from observations and data.
- 2. The act of gathering information through direct or indirect means, using the senses or instruments. Observations are the foundation of scientific inquiry and can be qualitative or quantitative.
- 3. The process of examining and interpreting data to identify patterns, trends, and relationships. Statistical methods may be used in quantitative analysis, while qualitative analysis involves the interpretation of non-numerical data.
- 5. Method: A systematic approach to scientific inquiry involving steps such as making observations, forming a hypothesis, conducting experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. It is a structured process for investigating and answering scientific questions.
- 7. Information collected through observation, experimentation, or other methods. Data can be qualitative or quantitative and is used for analysis and drawing conclusions.
- 8. Involving numerical data and statistical analysis. Quantitative research relies on measurable data to test hypotheses and draw conclusions.
- 10. A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is substantiated through empirical evidence and has withstood repeated testing and scrutiny. Theories are broader than hypotheses and often provide a framework for understanding a range of phenomena.
