1. A mathematical equation that predicts how a physical phenomenon will behave - Scientific law

2. A predicted experimental outcome based on prior knowledge and experience - Hypothesis

3. The variable that is changed on purpose by the scientist - Independent variable

4. The variables that must be kept constant so as not to bias or influence the results - Control variable

5. Data that is descriptive rather than numerical -Qualitative data

6. Data that is numerical - Quantitative data

7. A well tested explanation for why a physical phenomenon occurs - Scientific theory

Explanation:

In the method of science in understanding and explaining phenomena in the universe, observations are made, explanations are put forward, experimented and tested, before conclusions are made. Explanations of some common terms in the scientific process is given below:

1. A scientific law is a mathematical equation that predicts how a physical phenomenon will behave.

2. A hypothesis is a predicted experimental outcome based on prior knowledge and experience.

3. A independent variable is the variable that is changed on purpose by the scientist.

4. A control variable is the variable that must be kept constant so as not to bias or influence the results.

5. Qualitative data is data that is descriptive rather than numerical.

6. Quantitative data is data that is numerical

7. A scientific theory is a well tested explanation for why a physical phenomenon occurs.
