Scientific Method and Engineering Design

What is scientific inquiry?

• process used to create multiple designs

• process used to determine the specific measurements of a product

• process used to create a design solution that meets specific criteria and cronstraints

• process used by scientists to research a question

The hypothesis must include:

• "If" and "To"

• "If" and "Then"

• "If" and "This"

• "If" and "That"

A qualitative observation:

• describes the quantity of something and can be described using numbers

• describes the qualities of an object using your 5 sense

The variable that you change in an experiment is the:

• control variable

• dependent variable

• independent variable

The variable that represents the results of an experiment or the result of changes made during an experiment is the:

• control variable

• dependent variable

• independent variable

The variable that remains constant and is used as the standard comparison for your experiment is:

• control variable

• dependent variable

• independent variable
