scientific method
an organized set of investigations used by scientists
experiment
organized procedures to test your hypothesis
Scientific law
rules of nature that that describes patterns in nature. it also describes what happens
control and constans
control: standard for comparison
constans: factors that don't change in a experiment
what does c.e.r mean
claim
evidence
reasoning
observation
use five sences to make a observation
test hypothesis
accept or reject your hypothesis
Scientific Theory
explanation based on experiments logical explanation explains why or how
independent variables
factor that is changed
why do you need C.E.R
to answer a scientific question
question
ask a measurable and answerable question
conclusion
decide why the experiment supported or opossed your hypothesis
quantative data
numbers counting measure ment
dependent variables
factor that is measured
what is a scientific argument
a sientific explanation /your claim
supported by data / your evidence
to justify there side of the argument
reaserach
search for posible answers or solutions
report
share with others
qualatitative data
see feel smell taste hear
D.R.Y. M.I.X
dependent variable manipulated variable
reasponding independent variable
Y axis X axis
measured changed
how to start a scientific argument
asking questions
reasearching
observation
hypothesis
create a statement with a posible answer /educated guess to the question that can be tested
repeat
use what you have learned to experiment more
independent variable
dependent variable
controll variable
inependent variable: variables that change
dependent variable: variable that is measured
controll variable: variable that never changes
parts of C.E.R
list all three
claim: a statement that answers a question
evidence: scientific data that supports your claim it can include principles
reasoning: because this means that...
