Scientific Method

A series of steps used by scientists to solve a problem or answer a question. 

• scientific method
• recipe
• data collection
• metric system

Which is NOT a step in the scientific method?

• Make observation
• Form a theory
• Collect data
• Form a hypothesis

Testing a hypothesis often involves a(n):

• answer
• experiment
• problem
• safety check

What is the first step in the scientific method?

• Data

• Conclusion

• No Horse Play

• Observe a problem

Will a construction paper air plane fly faster than an airplane made from notebook paper? Choose the best hypothesis.

• If I make a paper airplane from notebook paper, then it will fly faster than construction paper.
• Yes.
• No.
• I think the construction paper air plane will fly faster.

During this step of the scientific method, a scientist would gather background information.

• Hypothesis

• Collect Information

• Observation

• Experiment

This step of the scientific method is an educated guess or a prediction. 

• Hypothesis
• Research
• Observation
• Conclusion

The name of the information that you get from your experiment (you organize it into tables).

• observations

  conclusion

• data

• variables

• hypothesis

What step does every scientific experiment begin with?

• hypothesis
• question/problem
• procedures
• conclusion

What is the scientific method?

• A systematic procedure for how to conduct a scientific experiment

• The process of solving a problem

• A way of making non-scientific observations

• A way to summarize findings from multiple investigations
