Scientific Method
The first step in the scientific method.
What is Observe the World and Notice things?
What are the two types of observation data?
What is Qualitative Measurement and Quantitative Measurement.
The specific format a hypothesis should be worded.
What is If (general manipulated variable) then (insert specific guess to achieve best responding variable) because (insert explanation).
The order and the two types of variables always stated in a testable question.
What is Manipulated and Responding varaibles?
Which step of the scientific method is missing: Observe, Question, Hypothesis, Plan, ____________, Collect Data, Conclusion, Share Results
What is Experiment.
The step of scientific method you test your hypothesis.
What is Experiment?
This type of observation is measureable.
What is Quantitative Measurement?
Putting my plant in the closet will decrease it's chance of living. What is wrong with this hypothesis?
What is... it is missing "If" and "Then", "Because" format?
The other name for the responding variable.
What is Dependent Variable?
The step of the scientific method do you use your data to state whether your hypothesis was proven or dispoven.
What is the Conclusion where you analyze the Results?
The step of the scientific method you make careful observations and write down what happens.
What is Observe and Record?
This type of observation is describable.
What is Qualitative Measurement.
How does the amont of milk drank impact the strength of bones? State a good hypothesis for this question.
What is...If the amount of milk drank is changed, then the subject who drank the most milk will increase the strength of their bones, becasue milk provide a nutrient for strong bones, calcium.
What is the other term we use to describe the manipulated variable or factor that the experimenter intentionally changes?
What is Independent Variable.
The ________________ involves a series of steps that are used to investigate a natural occurrence.
What is Scientific Method.
The step of the scientific method you present your experiment, observations and conclusions to others.
What is Share Results?
Blue, rough, metal are all examples of what type of observation?
What is Qualitative Measurement.
The error in the hypothesis: If a plant is put in the window with sunshine, then it will grow taller, because plants need sunshine to grow.
What is, the "IF" section needs to be more general, and not include the specific choice of manipulated variable?
Bonus points to fix the hypothesis????
The variables in an experiment that are not being studied, that are held constant so that they do not influence the experimental outcome, and ensure a fair test.
What is controlled variables?
List the independent and dependent variables in the following hypothesis. If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will increase.
What is...Independent-soil temperatures, Dependent-plant growth.
List all steps of the scientific method.
What is Observe, Question, Hypothesis, Plan, Experiment, Collect Data, Conclusion, Share Results?
4 feet long with 24 buttons are both examples of what type of observation?
What is Quantitative Measurement.
Read the following experiment and state a good hypothesis. I am doing a test to see if there is a connection between how long you run and how fast your heart beats. I will be performing an experiment where a person will run for a 1 minute and I will check their heartbeat. Then they will run for 2 minutes and I will check their heart rate. I will do this up to 6 minutes and see if there is a connection. What do you think my hypothesis should be?
What is...If the time a person runs is increased, then the heartbeat will get faster the longer they run because the heart will have to work harder to provide the body with enough oxygen for a longer duration of exercise.
Find the independent and dependent variables in the following experiment: If you increase the number of times you practice shooting free-throws, then you will increase your chances of making a basket every time.
What is Independent- practice shooting free throws, Dependent- making baskets.
Thinking about the hypothesis: If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will increase. These are the controlled variables in this experiment.
What is... using the same potting soil, making sure both plants have an equal amount of light, an equal amount of water, same size of pot?
