steps
1st step is _________
question
what are the 2 types of observations?
qualitative and quantitative
what are the 2 types of variables?
Independent and dependent
we used this tool to measure weight in grams
triple balance beam (Scale)
this type of graph uses bars to display data
bar graph
2nd step is __________
observation
which type means "looks" or uses adjectives to describe
qualitative
which variable is the one that we CHANGE
Independent
We used this to take the temperature of water in Celsius
thermometer
This type of chart is a circle and has percentages, often resembles a pie
pie chart
3rd step is _________
hypothesis
which type has a number
quantitative
which variable is the one that we MEASURE
Dependent
we used this tool to measure length and height in inches
ruler
this has an IF...THEN statement, is your prediction
Hypothesis
4th step is _________
experiment
you make an ________ with your 5 senses
observation
this type of question means it has BOTH variables in it
Testable
This is a tool we used to measure how much water was in this container by using ML
Beaker
This is the thing we refer back to as "normal" and use it to compare to what we are changing
control
the last TWO steps are
Data and conclusion
this is when you make an assumption as to what might have happened. Possible explanation to your observation.
Inference
This type of question DOES NOT have both variables
non-testable
BONUS: we have not learned about this tool, however, it is used to magnify microscopic things so that we can look into this tool and see them clearly.
microscope
Tell me all 6 steps to the scientific method from memory
