Scientific Method
What step of the scientific method do you predict a possible answer to a problem or a question?
What is Hypothesis.
In an experiment what are the variables that are not being studied that are held the same so that they do not influence the experimental outcome called?
What is constant variables .
Which step of the scientific method is missing: Question, research, formulate a Hypothesis, procedures, ______________, observe and record data, conclusion, share results
What is Experiment.
What part of the scientific method is this describing?
If I put my plant in the closet, then it will decrease it's chance of living.
What is hypothesis?
What step in the scientific method do you make a detailed list of the steps one would take to complete the experiment
What is Procedure?
If you drink more milk then you will get stronger bones? Identify 2 constant variables for this experiment.
What are the size of the glass, people drinking the milk, strength test,
What gum flavor lasted the longest?
What is Mint?
In which step of the scientific method do look at your results and determine if your hypothesis was correct?
What is Conclusion.
What is a good question or problem for this experiment based on the following hypothesis.
If you increase the number of cigarettes you smoke, then you will increase your chance of getting lung cancer.
What is.. Will smoking cigarettes increase chances of lung cancer?
Identify the independent and the dependent variables from the gum flavor lab we did in class.
Independent Variable: Flavor of gum
Dependent Variable: how long the flavor lasted.
List at least six steps of the scientific method.
What are Question/problem, research, hypothesis, procedures, experiment, data collection, conclusion, share results
Read the following experiment and state a good hypothesis. I am doing a test to see if there is a connection between how long you run and how fast your heart beats. I will be performing an experiment where a person will run for a 1 minute and I will check their heartbeat. Then they will run for 2 minutes and I will check their heart rate. I will do this up to 6 minutes and see if there is a connection. What do you think my hypothesis should be?
What is...If I increase the amount of time I run, then my heartbeat will increase.
Find the independent and dependent variables in the following experiment: If you increase the number of times you practice shooting free-throws, then you will increase your chances of making a basket every time.
What is Independent- practice shooting free throws, Dependent- making baskets.
Thinking about the hypothesis: If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will increase. What might a control in this experiment be?
What is... using the same potting soil, making sure both plants have an equal amount of light etc.
