They are observations using your senses
What is Qualitative Observations
100
a possible answer to a scientific question.
What is a hypothesis?
100
the one variable that is purposely changed to test a hypothesis.
What is the independent variable?
100
The paper airplane that weighed the most flew the farthest.
Inference
100
the application of science to solve problems and meet needs.
What is engineering?
200
The earthworm is 30 millimeters long.
What is Quantitative Observation.
200
are facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through observation.
What is data?
200
is the factor that may change in response to the independent variable.
What is the dependent variable?
200
Four earthworms are on the dark paper, three earthworms are on the borderline, and two earthworms are on the white paper.
Observation
200
is any product (an object created by a person) or process (a series of steps that brings about a result) that is designed by people to solve a problem.
What is technology?
300
Jack was doing an experiment. He noted that the liquid in his cup changed from yellow to blue. He also noted that the cup was steaming.
What is Qualitative Observations.
300
a series of steps used to solve a problem or answer a question.
What is the scientific method?
300
are factors that you do not change in an experiment.
What are controlled variables?
300
The newspaper is changing to a yellow color.
Observation
300
It is a well tested explanation for observations and experimental results. They can be developed, revised, or discarded as more information is collected.
What is a theory?
400
Ellen was doing an experiment. She measured plant 1. It grew 2 inches. She measured plant 2. It grew 5 inches.
What is quantitative observations
400
are factors that can change in an experiment.
What are variables?
400
You are doing an experiment. You water one plant with regular water, another plant with orange juice, and another plant with soda. You wait a week and measure how tall the plants grew. What is the independent variable?
What are the different types of liquids?
400
The grow capsule will work better in hot water.
Prediction
400
It is a way of learning about the natural world and includes all the knowledge gained by exploring the natural world.
What is science?
500
Tamara was doing an experiment. She measured out 50 ml of water and poured it in the first cup. She placed a grow capsule in the first cup. She measured 50 ml of vinegar and poured it in the second cup. She placed a grow capsule in the second cup. When she took the sponge animals out of the cup she noticed one was squishy, while the other was falling apart.
What is qualitative observations.
500
is an experiment where only one variable is manipulated at a time.
What is a controlled experiment?
500
You are doing an experiment. You water one plant with regular water, another plant with orange juice, and another plant with soda. You wait a week and measure how tall the plants grew. What is the dependent variable?
What is how tall the plants grew?
500
Since earthworms live underground where it is dark, it makes sense that the earthworms gravitated towards the dark paper instead of the white paper.
Inference
500
It is a summary of what you have learned from an experiment. The evidence from the experiment is used to determine if the hypothesis is proven or disproven.
What is a conclusion?
