Scientific Method

What is a Hypothesis

An educated guess

200

Scientific law means

Describes a pattern or event in nature that is always true

200

In an experiment to test the effect of sunlight on plant growth, which variable should be kept constant?

Type of plant

Scientific Method means

to answer questions just like scientists do.

200

Scientist use different methods (ways) to

observe the world- natural events- things that happen without human help

300

What does observation mean?

is using one or more of your sense to gather information and take notes of what occurs

300

what does science theory mean?

 is an explanation of observations or events based on knowledge gained from observation

300

What is a variable in an experiment?

A factor that can change

300

The three results of the scientific method identified are

technology, new material, and possible explanations.

500

What is the purpose of making observations before forming a hypothesis?

To gather information that helps you make an educated guess

More than one scientist,  more hypothesis

500

Prediction

 is the statement of what will happen next in a sequence of event

Scientific inquiry uses tools to

answer question or test ideas
