What is a claim?
A statement believed to be true.
Name the three sections of the scientific method.
* First plan the test
* Conduct the experiment
* Analyze the results.
What are some ID variables
Dry ( Dependent Responding Y axis) Measured dependent variable. Mosa Mack Dry- Hyperactivity
Mix ( Manipulated independent X axis) What is intentionally changed in an experiment. Mosa Mack Mix- Which one of the camps got sugar
How do we conduct the test?
We use the steps of the of the procedure.
What does C.E.R stand for.
C.E.R stands for Claim, Evidence, Reasoning.
What is evidence?
Facts used to support a claim.
What do you do when you plan the test?
* Identify the question
* Come up with a claim
What is the meaning of "Controlled variable"?
* It can never change
* If it doesn't remain the same you have to start over
What is Quantitative data?
* Measurable numbers. Numbered data that we collect.
Name two kinds of evidence.
Quantitative data
Qualitative data
When you write a hypothesis...
Expected an outcome of an phenomenon
It is written as an If-Then statement
Dry- Mix
Plant growth example
* DV= (Dry) The plant height ( Dependent variable)
* MV= (Mix) Different liquids ( Independent variable)
* Control+ The same amount of exposure to the same elements. The same type of flower
What is Qualitative Data?
* Results that do not need tools just senses.
Define reasoning.
A statement that explains your evidence.
What are the steps of an experimental design
* Set up your experiment
* Figure out how to get your data
What do you have to do to prove a claim?
The control has to be followed through and not change through out the experiment.
What to do you do/ask during the reasoning/ conclusion?
* Did you answer your question?
* Do your results support your claim?
* Discuss your evidence to support your claim.
How do we test a claim?
We use the scientific method.
Material
* Consumables: Any kind of consumable that is used up
* Nonconsumables: Things that we save and type of equipment that do not get thrown away.
What are the steps for the procedure
* This should be numbered
* This should be step by step
* This should be clear and concise
Gorilla tape commercial
Claim: Gorilla tape is 3 times stronger than duct tape.
Evidence: When the duct tape was on the lawn mower it broke off when the gorilla tape was on the lawn mower it was fixed.
Reasoning: Since the lawn mower was broken with the duct tape and held in place with the Gorilla tape that means that the Gorilla tape is stronger.
