John Shared "K12 list" - 14 Picmonics
With Picmonic, facts become pictures. We've taken what the science shows - image mnemonics work - but we've boosted the effectiveness by building and associating memorable characters, interesting audio stories, and built-in quizzing. Whether you're studying for your classes or getting ready for a big exam, we're here to help.
K12 list
Bias
- Bias is a personal or social perspective
- Bias affects the way people view a situation
- Examples of Bias
- Conflict of interest or funding bias
- Personal Prejudices
- Strong opinions about the hypothesis
- Surprised by findings

Experimental Group vs. Control Group
- Experimental Group 1 is given a treatment of independent variable
- Experimental Group 2 is given a different treatment of Independent Variable
- Both experimental groups are observed for changes
- The control group is isolated from the independent variable treatments
- Control (Constant) Variables are in each group

Measurements and Tools
- Volume is measured in millileters (mL) by a Graduated Cylinder
- Mass is measured in grams (g) by a Triple Beam Balance
- Time is measured in seconds (s) and minutes (min) by a Stopwatch
- Distance is measured in millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), and meters (m) by a Ruler
- Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius by a Thermometer

Observation and Inference - Blue Hair
- Observations are gathered with the 5 senses
- Observations can be qualitative
- Observations can be quantitative
- Inferences are an explanation for an observation
- Based on previous experiences
- Can vary from person to person
- Can change once more information is gathered

Plant Growth Experiment
- Independent Variable
- Dependent Variable
- Dependent variable shows the effect of the independent variable
- Control (Constant) Variable
- Other Variables
- Water
- Pot Size

Quantitative vs. Qualitative
- Quantitative
- Measureable and uses numbers
- Can be gathered by counting, using measurement tools, or creating a scale
- Can be compared more easily
- Qualitative
- Descriptive and uses adjectives
- Can be made quantitative by creating a scale, using a 1 to 5 system

Question and Hypothesis - Distance
- Question: Does the independent variable effect the dependent variable?
- Hypothesis: Proposed explanation for how the independent affects the dependent variable
- The hypothesis must be testable

Question and Hypothesis - Heat
- Question: Does the independent variable effect the dependent variable?
- Hypothesis: Proposed explanation for how the independent variable effects the dependent variable
- The hypothesis must be testable

Question and Hypothesis - Height
- Question: Does the independent variable effect the dependent variable
- Hypothesis: Proposed explanation for how the independent variable effects the dependent variable
- Hypothesis must be testable

Roller Coaster Cart Experiment
- Independent Variable
- Dependent Variable
- Independent variable affects the dependent variable
- Control (Constant) Variable

Validity vs. Reliability
- A valid experiment tests the hypothesis, but may not be reliable
- A reliable experiment is repeatable with consistent results, but may not be valid
- Some experiments are neither valid nor reliable
- An experiment should be valid and reliable for the conclusion to be trustworthy
