Scientific Investigations
100
You use your 5 senses when doing this?
What is observing or making observations?
100
These things display or show data collected.
What is a graph?
100
These scientists study things like rocks, weather and the planets.
What is an Earth Scientist?
100
This model has length and width.
What is a 2 dimensional model?
100
This is the statement you make before you conduct the investigation.
What is a hypothesis?
200
This skill allows scientists to make a true statement based on evidence or data collected
What is inferring or making an inference?
200
These 2 scientific tools make objects look bigger.
What are hand lenses and a magnifying boxes?
200
These scientists study living things.
What is a life scientist?
200
This model has length width and height.
What is a 3 dimensional model?
200
This is the "proof" you need to prove your hypothesis is correct.
What is evidence?
300
This skill involves sharing your ideas, results or inferences.
What is communicating?
300
This tool allows you to see things that could not be seen by the eye alone.
What is a microscope?
300
If you are conducting an experiment in a group, scientists need to make sure ALL of the people are doing these 2 things.
What is doing the same thing and using the same tools?
300
This model can be a drawing, a diagram or map.
What is a 2 dimensional model?
300
This is the one thing that you change in the experiment.
What is the variable?
400
This skill allows you to identify what is alike and what is different.
What is comparing?
400
This tool makes far away objects seem closer.
What is a telescope?
400
It is important to compare recorded information with your group because of this.
What is to make sure everyone is on the same page and they get all the correct measurements?
400
This model may be harder to create because it is also showing the height of objects.
What is a 3 dimensional model?
400
All the other "things" in an experiment must remain this way.
What is the same?
500
It allows you to see what has worked in the past.
What is why is seeing what others have done important?
500
This is done before conducting experiments because it allows you to make sure you will set up the experiment correctly.
What is researching information?
500
You should conduct a trial of an experiment this many times to make sure your data is accurate.
What is at least 3?
500
This model can be 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional.
What is a computer model?
500
After you record and analyze your data, you write this to discuss your results. You also compare your hypothesis to this.
What is a conclusion?
