Grade 6: Science 1.2

What is the first step in the scientific method?

• Prediction

• Observation

• Experiment

• Hypothesis

In the scientific method, a hypothesis is:

• A conclusion drawn from data

• An educated guess that answers a question

• A detailed observation

• A form of data collection

Which step in the scientific method involves collecting data through testing?

• Hypothesis

• Prediction

• Experiment

• Observation

What is the purpose of the 'prediction' step in the scientific method?

• To gather information

• To state what you think will happen

• To collect data

• To form a hypothesis

In the scientific method, what follows the experiment step?

• Hypothesis

• Observation

• Analysis of data

• Prediction

What is the last step in the scientific method?

• Ask a purposeful question.

• Record a result.

• Guess an answer.

• Predict an outcome

Which of the following is necessary for a fair test in an experiment?

• Changing multiple variables

• Changing only one variable at a time

• No change in variables

• Change condition midway

What do scientists do if their hypothesis is proven incorrect?

• Abandon the experiment

• Repeat the experiment without any changes

• Revise the hypothesis and test again

• Publish the incorrect result

Which of the following is NOT part of the scientific method?

• Data

• Theory

• Hypothesis

• Observation

Why is it important to repeat experiments?

• To prove your hypothesis wrong

• To ensure results are reliable and accurate

• To change the hypothesis each time

• To save time and effort
