Scientific Method Practice

Read the actions below and select the step in the Scientific Method the actions represent. Sarah got a Yellow Delicious Apple, a Red Delicious Apple, and a Paula Red Apple. She carefully cut each apple so she could examine the seeds. She counted the number of seeds in each apple and put the information in her notebook. She then measured the size of the seeds and drew a picture of each. She described the seed colors and shapes. Then she weighed each seed and put that in the notebook.

Read the actions below and select the step in the Scientific Method the actions represent. Kevin was so excited! He finally finished his experiment testing if dogs would still eat their food if spices were sprinkled on the food. He tested black pepper, rosemary, basil, and oregano. He was finished with analyzing his data and came to a conclusion. He was ready to report his results to his science teacher!
