Name the three types of variables and give both names for each.
What are independent or manipulated, dependent or responding, and the control or constant
100
Anything a scientist notices during a scientific investigation.
What is observation/ an observation
100
Why would scientists change their minds about how the world around us works.
What is they get new information.
100
State the problem: Tommy puts his pencil into the electric pencil sharper and nothing happens.
What is why doesn't the pencil sharper work?
100
The first step in the scientific method.
What is observe a problem and ask a question.
200
This variable is the one that you change to see if the outcome of your experiment is effected.
What is independent or manipulated variable
200
Anything that you can change during an investigation to effect the outcome.
What is variable
200
In this step of the scientific method a scientist will put their hypothesis to the test.
What is experiment
200
This is what a scientist must form using information they have gathered. It must be testable
What is hypothesis
200
Why scientists repeat an experiment multiple times.
What is increase reliability.
300
This variable is kept the same throughout the entirety of the experiment so that scientists have something to compare their results against.
What is control or constant variable
300
A judgement based on the results of analyzing the data an experiment.
What is conclusion
300
In this step of the scientific method a scientist will use the information at hand to create a statement that they may be a possible answer to their question/problem.
What is hypothesis
300
Something that a scientist uses to organize their data into rows and column for easy use.
What is data table
300
Form a hypothesis: Would planting a dead fish with a flower make it grow faster?
What is If I plant a dead fish with a flower then it will grow faster and bloom better.
400
The variable that you are looking at or measuring to see how changes effect it.
What is dependent or responding variable
400
A sample of data that is thrown out because it is far from the rest of your results.
What is an outlier
400
Why is it important to put the hypothesis in an "If, Then" statement.
What is helps scientist identify the independent or manipulated variable
400
A experiment with only 1 independent or manipulated variable and all other variables controlled.
What is a fair test.
400
What is the control group: Would planting a dead fish with a flower make it grow faster and bloom better?
What is flowers planted without the dead fish.
500
This group is used on subject (A) in the following word problem. One test subject (A) is sprinkled with the original itching powder, and another test subject (B) was sprinkled with the Experimental itching powder.
What is control group
500
All good conclusions need to include
What is restate the hypothesis, give the data, evaluate the experiment, and any new questions.
500
In this step of the scientific method a scientist will use their data to offer solutions and seek to share their findings with those around them as well as the scientific community as a whole.
What is conclusion
500
A series of steps used by scientists/people to help find solutions to problems and/or questions.
What is the scientific method
500
What is the dependent or responding variable: Would planting a dead fish with a flower make it grow faster?
