Steps
The very last step of the scientific method.
What is to make a conclusion?
A prediction of the outcome of an experiment.
What is a hypothesis?
The variable manipulated by the scientist.
What is the independent variable?
A set of procedures used to test a hypothesis.
What is an experiment?
The scientific method is used for this.
What is solving scientific problems?
The number step where observations are made, leading to a question.
What is step 1?
The purpose of a hypothesis.
What is to state what the scientist is aiming to prove?
The variable effected as a result of the experiment.
What is the dependent variable?
The information collected during an experiment.
What is data?
What is true?
What is the last step or to make a conclusion?
What makes a hypothesis different than an inference.
What is a prediction of future events?
The number of variables tested at once in an experiment.
What is one?
The part of an experiment that is not changed.
What is a constant?
The 6 steps of the scientific method in order.
What are "make observation + ask a question", "research", "form a hypothesis", "plan and conduct an experiment", "collect and analyze data", and "make a conclusion"?
The step that states the independent and dependent variables to be tested.
What is to form a hypothesis?
"It often rains when the sky is grey" is an example of this.
What is an inference?
Identify the independent variable in the following experiment:
Joe wants to see how tall his bean plants will grow with different amounts of fertilizers.
He plants four bean plants. One with no fertilizer and the other three with different amounts of the fertilizer.
What is the amount of fertilizer?
The part of the experiment that is changed.
What are the variables?
True or false: hypotheses can be disproven and the experiment is still good.
The step where the hypothesis is tested.
What is to plan and conduct and experiment?
The correct format of a formal hypothesis, including what information is included in this format.
What is, If "independent variable", then "dependent variable", because "research or previous knowledge".
Identify the dependent variable in the following experiment:
Mary is testing which cooking spray works best, PAM or Kroger brand.
She bakes a banana bread with PAM and bakes another banana bread with the Kroger brand cooking spray and sees which sticks less.
What is the degree to which the banana bread sticks?
The purpose of an experiment.
What is to test a hypothesis or prediction?
The two types of observations that can be made.
What are quantitative (number) and qualitative (description).
