Steps of the Scientific Method (not all 6 will be chosen)
This step of the Scientific Method uses graphs and tables to understand the results of your experiment.
What is analyzing data?
This type of observation involves numbers.
What is quantitative?
This type of variable is changed on purpose by a scientist in an experiment.
What is an independent variable?
In an experiment, the measuring tool we use to measure the speed of a car over a predetermined distance.
What is a stopwatch?
This step of the scientific method uses an if/then statement about independent and dependent variables to predict the outcome of an experiment.
What is a Hypothesis?
This type of observation describes what something is like, that cannot be represented by numbers.
What is qualitative research?
Scientists determine the outcome of an experiment by measuring this variable.
What is a dependent variable?
What Mr. De Bord used to measure his vertical (a long long time ago).
What is a ruler?
This step involves noticing something and wanting to know more about it.
What is making an observation?
The five senses we use when making scientific observations.
What are sight, sound, taste, touch and smell?
This category or kind of a variable cannot be changed so that we have an effective experiment.
If I change the television to an action movie from the news, then my heartrate will increase.
What kind of statement is this an example of?
What is a hypothesis?
This step involves learning background information about a topic to better understand it.
What is research?
A room at freezing temperature can be measured by this type of observation.
How many constants should an experiment have?
What is, as many as possible?
The kind of variable we use when we choose to eat toast rather than a boiled egg to determine our test scores an hour later.
What is an independent variable?
This step involves evaluating your prediction through an experiment.
What is an experiment/testing a hypothesis?
The type of observation I make when in a room with a hideous odor.
What is a qualitative observation?
What is a constant?
The kind of variable we talk about when measuring Andrew's mile time.
What is a dependent variable?
