The Scientific Method
The first step in the scientific method.
What is observe + ask a question?
Identify the Independent Variable in the following scenario:
A student wants to find out if the amount of sunlight affects how tall a plant grows. The student places three identical plants in different locations. One plant gets 2 hours of sunlight each day, another gets 5 hours, and the third gets 8 hours. The student gives each plant 25mL of water each day at 12:00pm. The student also uses the same amount and type of soil for each plant. Each plant is kept in a room that is 75oF. After 4 weeks, the student measures the height of each plant.
What is: Amount of sunlight each plant gets: 2 hrs, 5 hrs, 8 hrs
Convert the following:
25mL to L
0.025L
The basic unit of Mass
What is Grams?
The sixth step in the scientific method
What is make conclusions?
The second step in the scientific method
What is form a hypothesis?
Identify the Dependent Variable in the following scenerio:
A student wants to find out if the amount of sunlight affects how tall a plant grows. The student places three identical plants in different locations. One plant gets 2 hours of sunlight each day, another gets 5 hours, and the third gets 8 hours. The student gives each plant 25mL of water each day at 12:00pm. The student also uses the same amount and type of soil for each plant. Each plant is kept in a room that is 75oF. After 4 weeks, the student measures the height of each plant.
What is: measuring the height of the plants after 4 weeks.
Convert the Following:
657kg to g
657000g
The Basic Unit of Volume:
What is Liters?
The seventh and final step in the scientific method
What is revisit your question/make a new question/repeat?
The third step in the scientific method
What is run an experiment?
List 2 control variables in the following scenerio:
A student wants to find out if the amount of sunlight affects how tall a plant grows. The student places three identical plants in different locations. One plant gets 2 hours of sunlight each day, another gets 5 hours, and the third gets 8 hours. The student gives each plant 25mL of water each day at 12:00pm. The student also uses the same amount and type of soil for each plant. Each plant is kept in a room that is 75oF. After 4 weeks, the student measures the height of each plant.
What is: 25mL of water a day at 12:00pm, identical plants, same amount of soil, same type of soil, room temp at 75 degrees F.
Convert the following:
450 cm to m
4.5m
The Basic Unit of time
What is seconds?
A numerical form of data; it is measurable and quantifiable.
What is Quantitative Data?
The fourth step in the scientific method
What is collect data?
The variable that we change delibratly (the manioulated variable)
What is the independent variable?
Convert the Following:
312L to mL
312000mL
The Basic Unit of length
What is Meters?
A type of data that is observational utilizing the 5 senses. Descripive qualities.
What is Qualitative Data?
The fifth step in the scientific method
What is analyze data/results?
The variable that we can measure in an experiement.
what is the dependent variable?
Convert the following:
1609m to cm
160,900 cm
Tool to measure volume:
What is a graduated cylinder
The Study of Life
What is Biology?
