Scientific Method
Use this to prepare for Scientific Method Test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What form do we write Scientific Questions? | Does the (IV) effect the (DV)? |
| If the mass of a seed increases, then the height of the plant produced will increase. What is the IV? | Mass of the seed |
| If the mass of a seed increases, then the height of the plant produced will increase. What is the DV? | Height of the plant |
| If the mass of a seed increases, then the height of the plant produced will increase. What is the scientific question? | Does the mass of the seed effect the height of the plant? |
| What form do we write a Hypothesis? | If...then... |
| What must an investigator do before he/she can form a hypothesis? | Define the problem |
| What error is made...If the height and mass of the building increases, then the length of the shadow will increase. | there are too many Independent Variables (height and mass) |
| This is the step where you explain whether data supports the hypothesis and give future applications? | Draw Conclusion |
| This is the step where you ask a question? | Statement of the Problem |
| This is the step where you write a sentence in "If/Then" format? | Form a Hypothesis |
| This is the step where you complete steps for the experiment and organize data in appropriate manner? | Conduct Experiment and Record Data |
| This is the step where you search for background information needed to make an educated guess? | Collect Information |
| This is the step where you identify the procedure, variables, constants, control and materials needed? | Design an Experiment |
| What's an Independent Variable (IV)? | what I change |
| What's a Dependent Variable (DV)? | what I measure (data) |
| What's a Control Group? | the normal group that I compare to (no special treatment) |
| What are Constants? | keep the same |
| What are Sources of Error (SOE's)? | anything that could affect the results |
| If the amount of water Mrs. Gore drinks increases, then the distance she is able to run will increase. What's the IV? | IV = amount of water Mrs. Gore drinks |
| If the amount of water Mrs. Gore drinks increases, then the distance she is able to run will increase. What's the DV? | DV = the distance she is able to run |
