What is a scientific theory?
a test to prove or disprove an idea
an idea that is definitely false
an idea about the world or how it works
proof that the world is a certain way
Scientific Theory & Evidence
What is the name of the process of gathering evidence called?
the Scientific Method
the Scientific Experiment
the Scientific Proof
the Experimental Process
Scientific Theory & Evidence
Which of the following choices is NOT part of the Scientific Method?
forming a theory
carefully running experiments
gathering evidence
simply accepting an idea is true
Scientific Theory & Evidence
What should be true about scientists when they are testing a scientific theory?
They should be open to new ideas.
They should be certain their theory is correct.
They should be unobservant in their experiments.
They should be incorrect about their theory
Scientific Theory & Evidence
Which of these is a scientific theory that was eventually disproved (false)?
The Earth is round.
The Sun revolves around the Earth.
Germs cause disease.
Lightning often strikes the same place
Scientific Methods
Why don’t scientists stop with the first step in the Scientific Method, making observations?
They don’t trust their own observations and want others’ opinions.
They would rather run experiments than observe the world around them.
They want to test what they observe to make sure it is correct.
They don’t think that observations are a very good place to start
Scientific Methods
What is a hypothesis?
an experiment
a conclusion
a prediction (educated guess)
a variable
Scientific Methods
How do scientists form a hypothesis?
by writing down everything they see
by designing experiments
by asking questions about their observations
by drawing conclusions from their data
Scientific Methods
Once they form a hypothesis, what do scientists do next?
design experiments to test their hypothesis
draw conclusions based on their predictions
compare their hypotheses to other scientists’
ask the question, “Why?”
Scientific Methods
What does it mean to control variables in an experiment?
to use different colored objects for all of the parts of an experiment
to take complete notes about everything you observe in the experiment
to not touch anything once you set up the parts of an experiment
to keep as many things the same as possible across the parts of an experiment
Scientific Methods
What do scientists do when they run an experiment?
walk away from the experiment
write down their observations
change parts of the experiment
develop a hypothesis
Scientific Methods
Why do scientists write down every detail of an experiment?
because they do not take any pictures
so they can leave the experiment alone to run itself
because they always change their hypothesis
so they can do over the experiment to compare results
Identify Outcomes and Make Predictions
Which term means a guess about what will happen in a situation?
puzzle
preparation
prediction
practice
Identify Outcomes and Make Predictions
Mia predicted that she would score at least 90% on eight of her ten math quizzes. Look at the chart. Was her prediction correct?
Hint: AT LEAST means "That number and any number greater than that.
Yes, her prediction was correct.
No, her prediction was not correct.
Identify Outcomes and Make Predictions
What should you do before making a prediction?
create a graph
write an equation
collect data
identify possible outcomes
Identify Outcomes and Make Predictions
You are rolling a six-sided number cube to see which number it will land on. What are the possible outcomes?
2, 4, or 6
1, 3, or 5
1, 3, or 6
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
Identify Outcomes and Make Predictions
Sam predicts that if a letter is chosen at random from the alphabet, the probability of choosing a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) or a consonant (every letter except the vowels) is equally likely. Is this a good prediction?
No, it is not a good prediction.
Yes, it is a good prediction.
Identify Outcomes and Make Predictions
Which is true about making predictions?
Predictions are always wrong.
It is harder to make an accurate prediction when there are more possible outcomes.
It is easier to make an accurate prediction when there are more possible outcomes.
Predictions are always right.
Identify Outcomes and Make Predictions
RJ predicted he would score at least 3 goals in 6 of his 12 soccer games. Look at the chart. Was his prediction correct?
Hint: AT LEAST means "That number and any number greater after that number."
Yes, his prediction was correct.
No, his prediction was not correct.
Investigations to Collect Data
Which of these are necessary for capturing data?
traps and observations
observations and measurements
traps and cages
cages and measurements
Investigations to Collect Data
What do weight and force measure?
how much gravity pulls down an object
how much matter is inside an object
how hot or cold an object is
how much an experiment costs
Investigations to Collect Data
What role does time play in investigations and observations?
Scientists must know what time they take breaks.
Time keeps investigations from going too long.
Time measures how long it takes for things to occur.
Scientists use time to measure distance and weight.
Investigations to Collect Data
What is the importance of investigations?
They allow scientists to find data about the world we live in.
They provide measurements.
They always prove scientific hypotheses correct.
Scientists use the scientific process in their investigations
Investigations to Collect Data
How is mass different from weight?
Mass measures how much space an object takes up, and weight is how heavy it is.
Mass changes when gravity changes, but weight remains the same.
Mass does not change with the amount of gravity, but weight does.
Mass and weight are the exact same.
Investigations to Collect Data
You place an ice cube in a full glass of lemonade, and some lemonade spills out of the glass. What is the amount of spilled lemonade equal to?
the volume of the glass
the volume of the ice cube
the length of the glass
the weight of the ice cube
Investigations to Collect Data
Why would someone want to know the length and area of an object?
to find an object’s temperature
to find the weight and mass of an object
to find an object’s force
to find how thick and wide an object is
