Multiple Choice

What is the significance of making an observation when faced with a problem, such as not finding your phone in the morning?

• It helps you start the process of solving the problem.

• It makes you feel more frustrated.

• It guarantees you will find your phone immediately.

• It allows you to ignore the problem.

Multiple Choice

Which step of the scientific method involves making a prediction based on your initial guess?

• Observation

• Research

• Hypothesis

• Experiment

Multiple Choice

What lesson can be learned from a failed experiment, according to the second image?

• You should stop trying

• It means your hypothesis was wrong

• It provides more data for future tests

• You should ignore the results

Open Ended

Describe how a new observation can lead to a new hypothesis and conclusion in the scientific method.

Fill in the Blanks

The logical steps you took to find your phone—Observe, Hypothesize,

, Conclude—are the exact same steps scientists use to understand the universe.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a step in the scientific method as shown in the fifth image?

• Observation

• Research

• Prediction

• Conclusion & Sharing

Multiple Select

Select all the senses that can be used for scientific observation according to the sixth image.

• Sight

• Smell

• Taste

• Touch

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes a hypothesis in the scientific method?

• A random guess about an outcome

• A specific, testable prediction

• A summary of previous research

• A conclusion drawn from data

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between the independent and dependent variables in an experiment?

• The independent variable is what you measure, and the dependent variable is what you change.

• The independent variable is what you change, and the dependent variable is what you measure.

• Both variables are changed during the experiment.

• Both variables are measured during the experiment.

Multiple Choice

Why is it important to have a control group in an experiment?

• To increase the number of variables

• To compare the effect of the independent variable

• To ensure the experiment is fun

• To change the dependent variable

Open Ended

Explain how qualitative and quantitative data differ when collecting results from an experiment.

Fill in the Blanks

A well-designed experiment should include an experimental group, a control group, an independent variable, a dependent variable, and

collection.

Multiple Choice

Based on the scientific method diagram, what step might follow after drawing a conclusion in an experiment?

• Formulating a hypothesis

• Making new observations

• Collecting data

• Repeating the experiment exactly as before

Open Ended

Describe a situation where you made an observation that led you to solve a problem. What did you observe and how did it help you?

How can everyday problem-solving help you think like a scientist?
