Scientific Method
An organized procedure to study something under controlled conditions.
Observation
Information gathered by observation or experimentation that can be used in calculating or reasoning.
What is data?
A condition or factor that is assumed to have one value,or remain unchanged,throughout a particular investigation.
What is constant or constant variable?
The knowledge obtained by observing natural events conditions in order to discover facts and formulate laws or principles that can be verified or tested.
What is science?
An organized procedure to study something under controlled conditions.
What is experiment?
A testable idea or explanation that leads to a scientific investigation.
A quantitative description of something that includes a number and a unit,such as 42 meters.
What is measurement?
In a scientific investigation,the factor that changes as a result of manipulation of one or more independent variables (what we measure)
What is dependent variable?
A method of expressing a quantity as a number multiplied by 10 to the appropriate power.
What can be changed after an experiment has been conducted?
What is hypothesis or variables?
In this step, you organize and analyze the data collected during your experiment.
What is analyzing data/results?
A description of how close a measurement is to the true value of the quantity measured.
What is accuracy?
In a scientific investigation,the factor that is deliberately manipulated (or changed)
What is the independent variable?
A pattern,plan,representation,or description designed to show the structure or workings of an object,system,or concept.
What is a model?
A test model of a product.
What is a prototype?
Observation includes using.
What is the 5 senses?
The exactness of a measurement.
What is precision?
Label the independent and dependent variables in the experiment.
Students will grow bean plants under different colored lights to observe how light affects plant growth.
What is light is independent and growth is dependent?
The application of science for practical purposes the use of tools,machines,materials,and processes to meet human needs.
What is technology?
The number obtained by adding up the data for a given characteristic and diving the sum by the number of individuals.
What is the mean?
This final step involves sharing your results and potentially starting the process over again with new questions.
What is sharing results/conclusion?
The observations ,measurements,and other types of data that people gather and test to support and evaluate scientific explanations.
What is emperical evidence?
Label the independent and dependent variables in the experiment:
Students will create paper airplanes with different wing lengths to see how it affects the distance the plane flies.
What is independent is wing length and dependent is distance flown?
The application of science and mathematics to solve real-life problems.
What is engineering?
A method that is used to study and analyze the characteristics of an actual or theoretical system.
What is simulation?
