Beginning of the Scientific Method
What is an observation
a detail you have noticed by using your senses
Procedure
a set way of doing something OR a method...any good explanation of a process
DOUBLE POINTS!!!
To find a solution using math
Calculate...
I'll also take to "sum" or something related to equations and solutions
what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment
Dependent variable
TRIPLE POINTS!!!
Hypothesis
a prediction that can be tested about how a scientific investigation or experiment will turn out
Investigation
the search for facts to solve a problem or answer a question
TRIPLE POINTS!!!
to examine something carefully in order to understand it
Analyze
anything that can change and be measured
variable
DOUBLE POINTS!!!
Research
to study and learn about a subject
a test where variables are controlled to answer a question
Experiment
DOUBLE POINTS!!!
Conclusion
a decision or realization based on the facts available
factors that do not change
constants
DOUBLE POINTS!!!
A detail or fact you have noticed by using your senses
Observation
information collected in an investigation
Data
to share information, thoughts, or feelings
communicate
Control Group???
a group in the experiment which a variable is not being tested.
DOUBLE POINTS!!!
This is the very first step of the scientific method
Asking a question, or stating a problem based on observation
What is a variable?
Something that can change
a decision or realization based on the facts available
Conclusion
a variable that stands alone
independent variable
