Introduction to Science Test Review
• Metric system and conversion factors
• Common SI units and definitions
• The way scientists calculate averages of data sets involve using
mean, median, and mode and know the definition of the terms
• Basic graphing information (DRY MIX)
• Lab safety
• Quantitative vs. Qualitative observations
• Observing vs. Inferring
• Predicting
• Writing a good hypothesis
• Scientific law vs. theory (you need to look this one up!)
• Controls vs. Variables
• Independent vs. Dependent Variables
• Operational Definition
• The branch of science that involves the study of plants, animals
and humans (you have to look this up)
• Be able to convert using staircase method
