Practices of Science
The first step of the scientific method.
What is ask questions?
Where you write about the results of your experiment and if your hypothesis was supported or not.
What is conclusion or CER?
A strong claim should be supported by (be specific)
What is at least 2 pieces of evidence?
What is the purpose of reasoning when writing a CER?
What is to connect your claim to the evidence with your own ideas or knowledge.
An educated prediction about what will happen.
What is a hypothesis?
The part of the experiment where you change one thing.
What is experimental group?
These "rules" ensure the lab is repeatable.
What is constraints?
Why is it important to always have a control and experimental setup when designing a lab?
What is to compare the results?
Information gathered during an investigation.
What is data?
What is data table or graph?
A strong hypothesis is supported by
What is reasoning?
This is the final step of the scientific method.
What is to draw conclusions and communicate results?
The part of the experiment where nothing is changed.
What is an control group ?
When we analyze information gathered from the investigation we are looking for
What is patterns in our data?
True or False?
If your hypothesis is incorrect, you made a mistake in your investigation.
What is false?
A hypothesis is not always proven correct.
I would test my hypothesis and gather data during this part of the scientific method.
What is conduct an experiment or investigation?
Why should we only make 1 change (independent variable) in the experimental setup?
What is so we know what caused the result?
True or False.
An investigation is more reliable if there are fewer trials or tests.
What is false.
Multiple trials are necessary for your results to be trusted.
When testing if Gatorade gives students more energy during gym, what is the control and experimental group?
What is
Control Group: students who do not drink gatorade?
