100
What makes a good observation?
facts (empirical evidence)
100
The first step in the scientific method
What is identify and state the problem?
100
What is the problem we wanted an answer to for our plants?
Will this substance help or hurt a young plant?
200
Observations, facts, and data
Empirical Evidence
200
To have many ideas.
Creative
200
How are science and pseudoscience different?
Science is made up of ideas that were tested, pseudoscience cannot be tested.
200
The second step in the scientific method
What is form a hypothesis?
200
Describe how we planned our experiments.
In our lab, we wrote and drew a picture about setting up two seeds in a petri dish, giving them one test tube full of water, and letting them sit in the sun to grow. We introduced an independent variable of our choice.
300
The study of the natural world.
Science
300
To think about the consequences before acting.
careful
300
Why is it important to repeat a science experiment many times?
To see if you get the same results.
300
The third step in the scientific method
What is Planning an experiment?
300
What is a hypothesis we could have used for our plant experiment?
If_________, then__________?
400
A scientific sounding idea that is not provable or unprovable.
Pseudoscience
400
To not believe everything you hear. To question things.
Skeptical.
400
Give one example of a model that could be used in science.
model skeleton, model volcano, water cycle in a bag, answers will vary.
400
the 4th step in the scientific method
What is Identify the variables?
400
List 5 pieces of data you have collected from your plant experiment.
1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Must ALL be empirical evidence.
500
A representation of an object or system in science.
Model
500
To be able to understand and consider others ideas.
Objective
500
How can you test if your hypothesis is true?
Design and carry out an experiment.
500
The last two steps in the scientific method
What is analyze data and defend conclusion?
500
What is the difference in set up between the control plant and your plant?
The control had no independent variable. My plant has an independent variable (hot sauce, milk, sugar, etc).
