100
This is the first step of the Scientific Method
What is "Ask a question" ?
100
This is know as the manipulated variable.
What is the independent variable?
100
This type of observation uses numbers to describe the results.
What is quantitative?
100
This is the first step in a science lab.
What is ask a question?
100
What was the testable question asked at the beginning of the marshmallow experiment?
How do marshmallows react to various liquids?
200
This step comes before you can construct a hypothesis.
What is background research?
200
This is known as the responding variable.
What is the dependent variable.
200
This type of observation uses the five senses to describe the results.
What is qualitative?
200
This is the part of a lab where you list everything you will need to complete the experiment.
What is the materials list?
200
What was the dependent variable in the marshmallow experiment?
What are the reaction of the marshmallows?
300
A testable questions needs to have these two types of variables in it.
What are independent and dependent?
300
In the question, "How does the size of a tank affect the growth of a fish?" this is the independent variable.
What is the size of the tank?
300
The dog weighs twenty three pounds is an example of this type of observation.
What is quantitative?
300
This is the part of a lab where you list all the steps you will take during the experiment.
What is the procedure?
300
What was the independent variable in the marshmallow experiment?
What is the liquids?
400
After you test your hypothesis with an experiment, you do this step.
What is analyze the results and construct a hypothesis?
400
In the question, "How does the size of a tank affect the growth of a fish?" this is the dependent variable.
What is the growth of the fish.
400
"The cat has sharp teeth" is an example of this type of observation.
What is qualitative?
400
This is the step that helps you to form your hypothesis.
What is background research?
400
Name a controlled variable used in the marshmallow experiment.
What is the size of the cups, the size of the marshmallows, or the amount of the liquid?
500
This is the reason you would "Think and try again!"
What is "your hypothesis was incorrect."
500
Using the same size cups and the same amount of liquids in an experiment are examples of these.
What are controlled variables?
500
Name a scientific tool that allows scientists to make quantitative observations.
Balance, scale, ruler, etc.
500
This is the step in a science lab where you explain your findings and whether or not your hypothesis was correct.
What is the conclusion?
500
Scientists should gather a lot of this to make sure they are getting an accurate picture of the results.
What are observations or data?
