Scientific Method
Part of Intro to Biology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the First step to the scientific Method (?) | -The first step is to utilize your five senses in order to observe your surroundings and create one or two questions in response |
| What is the Second step to the Scientific Method (?) | -The second step is to form a hypothesis, or a statement made in advance, predicting the results that will come out of testing the hypothesis |
| What is required of a hypothesis(?) | It must be testable where evidence supporting, or not supporting the claim can be acquired, it can't be 100% proven beyond doubt, |
| What is the Third Step to the Scientific Method (?) | -You must form an experiment by testing a hypothesis or prediction and gathering data under controlled conditions |
| What are the needs of an experiment(?) | -Must compare a control group with an experimental group, both groups must be identical except for one factor, (the independent variable, and observations/measurements are taken for a particular factor (the dependent variable)-affected by independent |
| Qualitative data | -Measured/Observed information that is not numbers |
| Quantitative data | -Measured/Observed information that involves numbers |
| Sampling | -Technique of using a sample or a small part to represent the entire population |
| What is the fourth step of the Scientific Method (?) | -It's organizing data or the process of placing observations and measurement (data) in order Ex. Graphs, tables, or maps |
| What else is there to the fourth step of the Scientific Method(?) | Analyzing the data: collected and controlled data is to be analyzed (is data reliable and does it support the initial hypothesis? |
| What is the fifth step to the Scientific Method(?) | Conclusions, which are made based on facts, gathered from the study of experiment, and supports your hypothesis but must be re-testable |
| What is the sixth step to the Scientific Method(?) | Scientists share the results of their studies with others and may publish them in scientific journals or meeting s |
| What should a scientist be? | Unbiased,, shouldn't temper with their data, should only share tested & proven ideas |
