Understanding the Scientific Method Through a Soggy Sandwich

What motivated the person to solve the soggy sandwich problem?

• It was the third consecutive day of having a soggy sandwich.

• The sandwich tasted bad.

• They saw a solution online.

• Their friend suggested it.

What is the first step in the scientific method?

• Analyze data

• Form a hypothesis

• Conduct an experiment

• Make an observation and ask a question

What does the scientific method help ensure about conclusions?

• They are accurate and not based on false assumptions.

• They are quick to make.

• They support pre-existing beliefs.

• They are based on the researcher's opinion.

What did the person initially hypothesize as the cause of the soggy sandwich?

• The type of bread used

• The sandwich being in a bag

• The amount of jelly

• The temperature of the room

What was the result of the first experiment with the container?

• The sandwich was not soggy.

• The sandwich was still soggy.

• The sandwich tasted better.

• The sandwich was dry.

What was the second hypothesis about preventing the sandwich from becoming soggy?

• Packing the sandwich with a desiccant

• Using less jelly

• Putting peanut butter on both sides of the bread

• Using a different type of bread

How did the person test their second hypothesis?

• By changing the jelly

• By using a new type of container

• By not using any jelly

• By applying peanut butter on both sides of the bread

What was the outcome of the second experiment?

• The sandwich was still soggy.

• The sandwich was not soggy.

• The sandwich tasted worse.

• The experiment was inconclusive.

Why did the peanut butter prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy?

• It acted as a barrier.

• It absorbed the jelly.

• It dried out the bread.

• It reacted with the jelly.

What is an important final step in the scientific method?

• Starting over

• Communicating your results

• Making a new sandwich

• Keeping the results secret
