| Observation or Inference: Snails crawl 7 cm per second on glass. | Observation |
| Observation or Inference: Snails are awesome. | Inference |
| Observation or Inference: I think the snails are going to get stepped on outside. | Inference |
| Observation or Inference: Snails crawl 2 cm per second on concrete. | Observation |
| Observation or Inference: Snail shells look lik an ice cream sandwich. | Inference |
| Definition of Scientific Method: | The series of steps that scientists use to answer questions and solve problems |
| How many steps are in the Scientific Method? | 6 |
| What is the goal of the Scientific Method? | to come up with reliable answers and solutions |
| Data | What you collect during an experiment |
| The last step of the Scientific Method; can be done by writing, giving an oral presentation, or another way. | Communicate results |
| 6th Step of Scientific Method | Conclusion |
| Experimental Group | One factor is tested at a time and all the other parts of the experiment stay the same except 1 |
| During an experiment, you collect __________. | Data |
| Two ways you can organize the results of your experiment: | graphs and tables |
| The step of the scientific method where you decide whether your results support your original idea. | Draw conclusions |
| T or F: A spill or accident should be reported to the teacher. | True |
| T or F: You should push your lab partner. | False |
| T or F: Hair and long or baggy clothes should be tied back. | True |

| What part of the Scientific Method is this: Do snails crawl faster on concrete or glass? | Question |
| What part of the Scientific Method is this: The results of the experiment showed that pupil size decreases when there is more light present. | Conclusion |
| What part of the Scientific Method is this: If snails move faster on smoother surfaces, then a snail will move faster on glass than on concrete. | Hypothesis |
| What part of the Scientific Method is this? Snail 1: Glass-45 seconds; Concrete-55 seconds Snail 2: Glass-49 seconds; Concrete-49 seconds Snail 3: Glass-55 seconds; Concrete-56 seconds | Data |
| What part of the Scientific Method is this: I will organize snail races on glass and concrete and compare how fast snails travel on each surface. | Experiment |
