The Scientific Method

The steps of the scientific method, in order are:

• Observation, Research, Hypothesis, Plan, Collect Data, Conclusion
• Hypothesis, Plan, Collect Data, Conclusion, Observation, Research
• Observation, Research, Collect Data, Plan, Hypothesis, Conclusion
• Conclusion, Observation, Research, Collect Data, Plan, Hypothesis

An education guess about the results of an experiment is a _____________________

• Conclusion
• Hypothesis
• Experimental Plan
• Materials List

A list of steps that tells how to complete an experiment

• Materials
• Procedure
• Conclusion
• Dependent Variable

Which of the following is NOT part of a conclusion

• A description of the results and numerical data
• A description of errors and how these errors effect the experiment
• An educated guess about the outcome of the experiment
• Suggestions to improve the experiment when it is repeated

Important information observed using your 5 senses and written while doing an experiment is called

• Data
• Hypothesis
• Materials
• Conclusion

The group in an experiment that has all of the normal conditions is the

• Control Group
• Experimental Group
• Data
• Materials

To make sure your experimental results are reliable, you should:

• Write more than one hypothesis
• Use more than one variable
• Only do the experiment one time
• Repeat the experiment many times

The experimental group in an experiment should have

• Many different variables
•  The one variable being changed and tested
• All of the normal conditions
• Different materials than the control group

The DATA you observe and write down in a chart during an experiment or the condition that results from the change in the experiment is the

• Dependent Variable
• Independent Variable
• Materials
• Control

The one thing you CHANGE in an experiment is the

• Dependent Variable
• Independent Variable
• Control
• Data
