Scientific Method

THE PART OF THE EXPERIMENT THAT CHANGES AS A RESULT.

• CONTROL

• INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

• DEPENDENT VARIABLE

THE PART OF THE EXPERIMENT THAT DOESN'T CHANGE

• CONTROL

• INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

• DEPENDANT VARIABLE

The variable that is being tested, counted, or measured and is responding to the independent variable is known as 

• Control

• Constant

• Independent Variable

• Dependent Variable

Should experiments be repeated over and over to see if the results are the same each time?

• yes

• no

Another word for prediction or educated guess is: ________________

• hypothesis

• conclusion

• experiment

• data

A hypothesis is based on observations and research

• True

• False

Which of these contains the steps of the scientific method in the correct order?

• Ask a question, do background research, state your hypothesis, conduct an experiment, analyze data, make a conclusion

• State your hypothesis, ask a question, do background research, conduct an experiment, analyze data, make a conclusion

• Ask a question, state your hypothesis, do background research, conduct an experiment, make a conclusion, analyze data

• State your hypothesis, ask a question, do background research, make a conclusion, conduct an experiment, analyze data

What is a constant/control in an experiment?

• Things that do not change in a experiment. It's the variable that stays the same. You can have many variables stay the same.

• It's the variables that the scientist changes in the experiment

• It's the variables that are being measured in an experiment

When should you write a hypothesis?

• After writing procedures

• After making observations and doing research on a question/problem

• After buying materials for an experiment

• At the very beginning of the experiment

Interpreting data to help prove the hypothesis. What you learned during an experiment

• Data

• Hypthesis

• Procedure

• Conclusion
