| Following my steps | ||
| #1 | What is the first step of the scientific method | Ask a question |
| #2 | After asking a question, what should you do next? | Conduct research |
| #3 | I am written in an if, then, because statement...what am I? | Hypothesis |
| #4 | Information I collect when testing my hypothesis | Data |
| #5 | Once my experiment is over I must... | Analyze Results/Draw Conclusions |
| Guess which part | ||
| #1 | Susan said, "if I fertilize my plants, they will blossom | Hypothesis |
| #2 | Angela's experiment proved that earthworms move away from the light | Draw Conclusions |
| #3 | Kathy used a survey to determine how many of her classmates were left-handed. | Collect data |
| #4 | Michael's experiment showed that guinea pigs need vitamin C and protein in their diets | Draw Conclusions |
| #5 | Mark wanted to know how synthetic fibers were different from natural fibers | Problem/Question |
| Define Me | ||
| #1 | Variable | Something that changes |
| #2 | Independent variable | The factor you change to test the hypothesis |
| #3 | Dependent variable | The result of what changed. |
| #4 | Constants | What scientists keep the same in an experiment |
| #5 | Observations | Use the senses to gather information |
| Fill in the blank | ||
| #1 | The procedure scientist use to answer a question or solve a problem | Scientific Method |
| #2 | _______ are variables/factors that stay the same in both groups | Control |
| #3 | The _________ is what scientist change in an experiment | Independent variable |
| #4 | You test the ________ by designing a controlled experiment | Hypothesis |
| #5 | You must come to a ___________ to determine whether your hypothesis was supported or rejected | Conclusion |
| Observation vs. Inference | ||
| #1 | The sky is blue | Observation |
| #2 | It looks like it's about to rain | Inference |
| #3 | The board is white | Observation |
| #4 | I'm getting a passing grade this marking period | Inference |
| #5 | There is a skeleton at the front of my science classroom | Observation |
| Final Question | |
| List and describe each step of the scientific method | |
