Scientific Method & Engineering Design

The steps in the Scientific Method in order are:

• research, experiment, hypothesis, question, analysis, conclusion

• hypothesis, experiment, question, analysis, research, conclusion

• question, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis, conclusion

• analysis, question, research, experiment, hypothesis, conclusion

The steps in the Engineering Design Process in order are:

• problem, research, brainstorm, build, test, communicate

• brainstorm, research, problem, test, build, communicate

• communicate, problem, brainstorm, research, build, test

• research, problem, build, brainstorm, test, communicate

'The sky is blue,' is

• an inference because it is not always blue

• an inference because it is an educated guess

• an observation because sometimes it is blue

• an observation because it cannot be disputed

Observations using description is an example of

• quantitative data

• hypothesis data

• qualitative data

• number data

Statistics gathered in the form of numbers, tables, and graphs is an example of

• quantitative data

• hypothesis data

• qualitative data

• number data

The group in an experiment that is not tested is known as the

• dependent group

• control group

• scientific group

• independent group

An educated guess is

• hypothesis

• variable

• research

• wish

A scientist gave each of four plants the same amount of sunlight and soil, but gave one milk, one water, one energy drinks, and one apple juice. The fluids that the scientist used were the

• control group

• dependent variable

• independent variable

• data

In Engineering Design, the steps for generating a solution are

• build, develop, choose

• develop, brainstorm, choose

• build, brainstorm, develop

• brainstorm, choose, develop
