Which of the following steps is not part of the Scientific Method
Ask a question.
Communicate your data and conclusions.
Make a hypothesis and a prediction.
Analyze your data.
They are all steps in the scientific method
The Scientific Method is a process, used by every scientist in exactly the same way, to determine cause and effect relationships
True
False
The Scientific Method is an iterative process. This means
A scientist repeats the same experiment over and over until he or she proves the hypothesis true
New ideas or information might make a scientist back up and repeat parts of the Scientific Method.
The scientific method can be adapted to be used in all areas of science.
Scientists using the Scientific Method must gather data that can be represented using numbers.
All of the above.
Which of these words can a scientific question not start with?
How
Why
When
Maybe
Who
A scientist only communicates the results of his/her experiment if they support his/her hypothesis
True
False
What are the first four steps of the scientific method in the correct order?
Do background research, ask a question, test with an experiment, construct a hypothesis
Ask a question, do background research, construct a hypothesis, test with an experiment
Construct a hypothesis, do background research, ask a question, test with an experiment
Do background research, construct a hypothesis, ask a question, test with an experiment,
When using the scientific method, what comes after you test your hypothesis with an experiment?
Analyse your data, draw conclusions and communicate results and conclusions
Draw your conclusions, communicate results and conclusions and analyse your data
Analyse your data, communicate your results and conclusions and draw your conclusions
Communicate your results and conclusions, analyse your data and draw your conclusions.
Which of the following is NOT a part of the engineering design process we investigated?
Specify requirements
Develop a prototype solution
Collect Data
Communicate results
The independent variable is
the one that is changed by the experimenter
the one that is measured
variables that remain constant
The control variable is
the one that is changed by the experimenter
the one that is measured
variables that remain constant
The dependent variable is
the one that is changed by the experimenter
the one that is measured
variables that remain constant

What is the Engineering Design Process?
An assembly line that builds car parts
A computer program about engineering.
A series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem
It's exactly the same as the scientific method
A test that professional engineers take every year to test their knowledge.
If an engineer is testing a new product and notices that it does not always perform well, the engineer should:
Ignore the test results and continue to the next step of the Engineering Design Process
Go back to an earlier step of the Engineering Design Process and change the design to try to fix the product, then test the product again
Quit, because only bad engineers have product ideas that are not perfect
The Engineering Design Process starts by asking questions about problems that you observe. Which of the questions below is NOT one of the questions that help you define the problem for the first step of the Engineering Design Process?
What is the problem or need?
What materials do I need?
Who has the problem or need?
Why is the problem important to solve?
If you wanted to build a new and improved type of sneaker, a good way to do background research and specify requirements for your new shoe would be to:
Go to a shoe store and try on sneakers, taking notes about the important features.
Talk to your friends and family about what they like and do not like about the sneakers they own.
Look around at your school and take notes about what type of sneakers are the most popular.
All of the above
Which of the following steps is not part of the engineering design process:
Collect data
Define the problem.
Brainstorm solutions.
Prototype the solution.
They are all steps in the engineering design process
The engineering design process is a process used to solve a problem by creating new products, systems, or environments.
True
False
The engineering design process is an iterative process. This means:
New ideas or information might make an engineer back up and repeat parts of the process.
An engineer has to go through every step of the process before concluding if the solution is any good.
Engineers using the engineering design process must gather data that can be represented using numbers.
The engineering design process can be adapted to be used in all areas of engineering.
All of the above
A prototype is:
The description of the problem that an engineer or designer is trying to solve.
A document listing the features that must be included in the final product.
A working version of a created solution so that an engineer can test whether it is a good solution.
The final product created after an engineer goes through all the steps of the engineering design process.
None of the above
