Explanation:

1.

The system of knowledge and the methods used to find that knowledge is referred to as science

2.

Science and Technology are related in that advances in a science may lead to advances in technology and vice versa

3.

Scientific models are important because they help visualize things that are very complex, very large, or very small

4.

The variable that is purposely changed and that you wish to test is called the independent  variable.

5. An explanation that tries to make sense of your observations based on personal experience and prior knowledge is called  inference

6. There are a number of possible ways that scientists can use to communicate the results of an investigation;

by publishing articles in scientific journals

by giving talks at scientific conferences

7. Scientists who speak different languages make their data understandable to one another through the use of the SI system .

8. The term peer review refers to a process in which scientists examine other scientists work for the purpose of questioning or criticism.

9. One reason that makes peer reviews important is;

Scientist are able to receive questions and criticism from their peers on a particular work of research.

10. The branches of natural science include;

life science

earth science  

physical science

11. One of the main ideas of physical science is that forces cause changes in motion

12. The main steps of the scientific methods  include;

drawing conclusions

analyzing data

revising a hypothesis

13. What happens when the data in an investigation does not support the original hypothesis;

the hypothesis is revised  

14. What is a statement that summarizes a pattern found in nature?

a scientific law

15. What is the SI units of Thermodynamic temperature?

Kelvin

thermal energy is the answer
