1. State the Problem
2. Hypothesis
3. Materials
4. Procedure
5. Results and Observations
6. Conclusions
What are the six steps in the Scientific Method?
100
Representation of data, object, and process/system
What are Models?
100
Information that we gather from our senses and measurement.
What is an Observation?
100
Two test groups.
What is the number of test groups in a controlled experiment?
100
Re-answers the question, use your data to prove, written in complete sentences, and a summary of the results of your experiment.
What is a Conclusion?
200
Bullet list, specifies size, amount and quality of all supplies.
What are Materials?
200
Macroview and Microview
What are two types of Models?
200
Prediction or possible explanation and they are supported by our observations.
What is an Inference?
200
The reference point. The group that stays the same the entire time in the experiment.
What is a control group?
200
Describes an experiment when you can repeatedly get similar results.
What is reliable data?
300
Collecting and analyzing data, and it contains tables, graphs, labeled diagrams, and calculations.
What is Results and Observations?
300
Can be seen with the eye.
What is Macroview?
300
Qualitative and Quantitative
What are two types of observations?
300
Only changing one thing in the experiment (the IV). All the factors except one are kept the same as the control group.
What is an experimental group?
300
1. Opening sentence: If the IV is increased/decreased then the DV will increase/decrease because….
2. Use Observations & Data to PROVE point (macroview – what you see)
3. Inferences ( microview – what is happening that you can’t see)
4. Closing sentence(s) – Correctly state #1 above
What are the components of a Conclusion?
400
Numbered list, step by step directions about how to conduct an experiment, written in complete sentences.
What is Procedure?
400
Too small to be seen with the eye. Need a microscope or telescope.
What is Microview?
400
Using words to describe your observation.
What is qualitative?
400
The variable in an experiment that is kept the same.
What is a Constant?
400
1. Data Table- Organized & Accurate
2. Title at the top
3. Headings for all Columns (with units)
4. Appropriate calculations to prove your point
5. Graph
What are the components of a Table?
500
Answers the problem, written in a sentence, and follows the format: If A increases/decreases then B increases/decreases because C.
What is Hypothesis?
500
They are used to describe and explain concepts that cannot be experienced directly.
What are Models used for?
500
Using numbers to describe your observation.
What is quantitative?
500
Any factor that could change the outcome of the experiment. The one thing you change is the IV.
What is a Variable?
500
1. Drawing- Clear & Accurate
2. Title at the top
3. Labels for all parts of picture
4. Descriptions near labels
5. Key
