Scientific Method
The first step of the Scientific method
What is the problem or question?
Things in your experiment that you can change or measure.
What are variables?
Variable in an investigation that changes in response to changes in the investigation
What is dependable variable?
The process of obtaining information by using the senses
What is observation?
The systematic study of the natural events and conditions
What is science?
A proposed answer to a scientific question that must be specific and testable
What is an hypothesis?
The variable that never changes.
What are constants?
The variable that is observed and measured during an experiment
What is dependable variable?
The term that describes the information that a scientist gathers during an investigation and is recorded
What is Data?
A process of investigation that resembles science but does not follow scientific methods
what is pseudoscience?
A representation of an object or a process that allows scientist to study something in greater detail
What is a model?
The variable that is changed by the scientist
What is an independent variable?
This is the variable in the experiment the scientist changes.
What is independent variable?
an organized procedure to study something under controlled conditions
What is an experiment?
A diagram showing the relationship between variables measured along one of a pair of y and x axes at right angles
What is a graph?
The summary of an experiment and its results
What is a conclusion?
How does temperature affect the growth of mold? Temp. A = 50 degrees Temp B = 60 degrees and Temp. C = 70 degrees.
What is the independent variable?
What is temperature?
The number of independent variable in an scientific experiment
What is 1?
These help scientists make a hypothesis or collect data during an experiment and need the use of your senses
What is observations?
A graph can help scientists display and convey data. What part of a line graph shows trend?
What is line of best fit?
A method or process to explore the natural world.
What is the scientific method?
The part of an experiment that is not being tested and is used for comparison
What is Control?
The three types of variables in an experiment
What is constant, independent and dependent?
visual or mathematical representations to investigte items that are very large, very small, or otherwise difficult to study
What are models?
A graph in which the relationship between the independent and dependent variable can be shown with a straight line
What is linear graph?
