The Scientific Method
The First Step of the Scientific Method, after we Observe
State or Form a Question
I am used to measure time and space relationship, like a mouse running through a maze
Stopwatch
A Foot is equal to 12 of these
Inches (")
I organize data into Rows and Columns
Chart
I help scientists learn about things that are too Big, too small, or to dangerous to observe
Model
The Final Step of The Scientific Method (Also the Final step of the Design Process!)
Communicate (your results)
Use me to observe greater detail
Hand lens, Magnifying Glass (acceptable - Microscope)
You would use this metric unit to measure the length of a feather
Centimeter (cm)
I am Circular in shape and cut into sections to display data
Pie Chart
If two scientists do the SAME experiment, compare their data, but get different results, they should _____________
Repeat the Experiment (Do the experiment again)
When you use your Senses to notice Details, you ______________.
Observe
I used Grams to measure mass, and I can be used to compare two different objects masses, as well
Balance
This metric Unit is used to measure running distances in track or the length of a room
Meter (m)
I am a chart that uses numbers
Data Table
Our data is our Evidence. What's another word evidence?
Proof
A test done to gather evidence
An Experiment (or An Investigation)
A graduated Cylinder is used to measure ______________, in Milliliters.
Volume
I am the metric measurement that is smaller than a Centimeter, 10 of me = 1 cm
millimeter (mm)
I am colorful and I make it very easy to see and compare data with different size bars
Bar Graph
We do and experiment and analyze the data to see if our ______________ is correct or incorrect
Hypothesis
A statement or Question that can be Tested
A Hypothesis
Fahrenheit and Celsius are Units of measure found on me
Thermometer
I'm just a little smaller than a meter and equal to 3 feet
Yard (yd)
I show the relationship between different objects and ideas - WOW! how about - I am used to show different locations, places, and even weather differences
Map
A prediction is a guess based on what we think we will observe. To explain what we have already observed, we __________.
Infer (Make an Inference)
