What do you call the steps you follow during an experiment?

• procedures

• conclusions

• variables

• data

What is the first thing scientists do when starting the scientific method?

• test their hypothesis
• make observations
• conduct an experiment
• write down their results

Series of steps followed by scientists to answer questions.

• hypothesis

• experiment

• scientific method

• conclusion

Match the following

• Group that is used to compare

• Independent Variable

• Prediction of the outcome of the experiment

• Hypothesis

• effect that occurs during experiment

• Constant

• Part scientist changes on purpose

• Control Group

• part kept the same so it is a fair test

• Dependent Variable

the factors that do not change in an experiment

• constants

• control

• dependent variable

• independent variable

Why is it important to have only one independent variable and to control the other variables when performing science experiments?

• So you can tell which factor is causing the change in the experiment and get more accurate results

• It does not matter, you can have as many independent variables as you want.

• None of these answers are correct

How many variables should a scientist change with each new experiment?

• 1
• 2
• 3 or more
• as many as he wants to
