Document Summary
Complete this reading guide as you read the textbook pages listed above. You might not have to read every word on every page, rather pay close attention to the questions in this guide and answer them as you work through the textbook. Also pay close attention to the terms that are underlined: these are key terms that you should know the definitions of and be able to apply in new situations. Describe the steps of the scientific process (or method) in your own words, using the terms hypothesis, prediction, experiment, and analysis. Hypothesis: a possible answer to a question that requires an experiment and explanation. Prediction: a possible outcome that can be tested. Experiment: carrying out the test under controlled conditions. Analysis: going over the data found during the experiment. Deductive reasoning involves logic that flows in the opposite direction, from the general to the specific. Inductive reasoning is collecting and analyzing observations to come up with a conclusion.
