This variable is changed/controlled by you, the scientist.
What is the independent variable?
100
This is an observation you make when you measure using tools and gather numbered data.
What is quantitative observations?
100
This is where you explain sources of error.
What is a conclusion?
200
This is the third step of the scientific method.
What is hypothesis?
200
What is the sixth step of the scientific method?
What is analyze the data?
200
This variable is measured to see if it changes in response to the change in another variable.
What is the dependent variable?
200
These are observations that are made using the senses and you describe something in detail.
What is qualitative observations?
200
This is the first thing that you write in your conclusion.
What is the problem you were investigating?
300
This is the last step of the scientific method
What is conclusion?
300
This is the question that you are investigating.
What is the problem?
300
This is a variable that remains the same in an experiment to keep the experiment fair.
What is a constant/controlled variable?
300
This is a reasonable judgement or conclusion that you make using your observations.
What is an inference.
300
In your conclusion, what should you back up your statements with?
What is data?
400
This is the fourth step of the scientific method
What is create experiment?
400
This is worded as an if... then... because statement.
What is a hypothesis?
400
A scientist conducts an experiment to test if vitamin C helps boost the immune system. The scientist gave 500mg of vitamin C to one group and a placebo (fake) pill to another group. They were then exposed to a cold virus. 2 out of the 10 people in the vitamin C trial got sick, and 5 out of the 10 people in the placebo trial got sick. What is the independent variable?
What is the pill: vitamin C/placebo.
400
This is an example of a type of observation:
The puppy had a mass of 200 grams at birth.
What is a quantitative observation?
400
These should be written in a conclusion to make the experiment better if you were to perform it again.
What are suggested improvements?
500
This is the fifth step of the scientific method
What is perform experiment?
500
This step includes making charts and graphs.
What is analyze the data?
500
A scientist conducts an experiment to test if vitamin C helps boost the immune system. The scientist gave 500mg of vitamin C to one group and a placebo (fake) pill to another group. They were then exposed to a cold virus. 2 out of the 10 people in the vitamin C trial got sick, and 5 out of the 10 people in the placebo trial got sick. Which is the dependent variable?
What is the number of people that got sick?
500
This is an example of a type of observation:
The bird laid a small blue speckled egg
What is a qualitative observation?
500
Name 5 things that belong in a conclusion.
What is: Problem, Summary of procedure, hypothesis, if hypothesis was correct, data, sources of error, suggested improvements, what you learned/scientific explanation.
