Sounding rockets for astronomy is a lecture and an article about a specific lofting technology that benefits radiation astronomy.

You are free to take this quiz based on sounding rockets for astronomy at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, and in the astronomy template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

A suggestion is to have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

10. True or False, A control group may be used for a sounding rocket to demonstrate no effect or a standard effect versus a novel effort applied to a treatment group.

TRUE
FALSE

11. True or False, The purpose of a treatment group for a sounding rocket is to describe natural processes or phenomena for the first time relative to a control group.

TRUE
FALSE

Research

Hypothesis:

  1. A quiz on sounding rockets may reveal more about the technology than just astronomical uses.

Control groups

The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[1] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[2]"[3]

Proof of concept

Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[4] is called a proof of concept.

Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.

The proof-of-concept structure consists of

  1. background,
  2. procedures,
  3. findings, and
  4. interpretation.[5]
