Scientific Method
First step of the scientific method
What is observation?
Data collected by counting things
something we ask after making observations
What is a question?
variable being measured
What is the dependent variable?
During an experiment, you must follow this to know what you're doing.
What is procedure?
When we follow a procedure to test our hypothesis and make a discovery
What is an experiment?
What is qualitative data?
a way I can organize my data after an experiment
what is a table?
In a hypothesis, this variable is the one that's being changed.
What is the independent variable?
Rules that you must follow especially in the lab to prevent any accidents or injuries
What is lab safety?
The step in which you find out more information about your subjects that are being experimented before creating a hypothesis.
What is Conducting Background Research
Measurements or data collected that are close the accepted or correct value
What is accuracy?
What is the y-axis?
in the lab, scientists wear these to protect any chemicals from getting into their eyes
what are goggles?
A testable explanation or prediction to answer your question
What is a hypothesis?
When our data collected or measurements are close together
What is precision?
something that does not change in the experiment
what is a constant?
Another word for independent variable
What is cause?
the measurement tool we use to find the mass
what is a triple beam scale or what is a digital scale?
Group that is not being experimented on
What is the control group?
When you make a guess about something or an observation
used as comparison in your experiment
what is the control group?
series of steps that help scientists identify and solve problems
What is the scientific method?
used to measure volume of liquid in the lab
what is a graduated cylinder
