2 Introduction to Physical Science Name Date Class 9. The purpose of a technological system is called its a. output. b. input. c. goal. d. constraint. 10. What is the result or product of a technological system? a. goal b. feedback c. technology d. output Completion Fill in the line to complete each statement. 11. Physical science is divided into two main areas: chemistry and. 12. An experiment in which only one variable is manipulated at a time is called a(n) experiment. 13. A(n) is a statement that describes what scientists expect to happen every time under a particular set of circumstances. 14. A(n) is a person trained to use both technology and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. 15. is information a system uses to monitor the input, processes, and output so that the system can adjust itself. True or False If the statement is true, write true. If it is false, change the underlined word or words to make the statement true. 16. A(n) quantitative observation deals with a number, or amount. 17. A(n) variable is a possible answer to a scientific question or explanation for a set of observations. 18. A(n) responding variable is the factor in an experiment that is purposely changed to test a hypothesis. 19. The process of analyzing a design problem and finding a way to fix it is called communicating. 20. A working model used to test a design is called a system.
