What is the first step in the scientific method?
Forming a hypothesis
Making observations
Posing a question
Drawing a conclusion
What is a hypothesis?
A list of materials needed for an experiment
A prediction about how one variable might affect another
A step-by-step procedure for an experiment
A summary of the experiment's results
What is the purpose of the procedure in an experiment?
To make the experiment more complicated
To provide a clear, step-by-step guide for completing the experiment
To list the results of the experiment
To predict the outcome of the experiment
What is a control group?
A group that is changed during the experiment
A group that is used for comparison in an experiment
A group that receives special treatment
A group that is not used in the experiment
What is an independent variable?
A variable that is kept constant
A variable that is measured or observed
A variable that a scientist chooses to change
A variable that is not important
What is a dependent variable?
A variable that is kept constant
A variable that changes because of the independent variable
A variable that is not measured
A variable that is chosen by the scientist
What are constant conditions in an experiment?
Factors that change throughout the experiment
Factors that remain the same throughout the experiment
Factors that are not important
Factors that are only measured once
What is the purpose of a conclusion in an experiment?
To introduce new variables
To summarize the information obtained and determine if the hypothesis is supported
To list the materials used
To describe the procedure in detail
What is the scientific method used for?
To create new scientific laws
To solve problems and gather information
To ignore existing data
To make random guesses
What is the relationship between the independent and dependent variables?
The independent variable is measured, and the dependent variable is changed
The independent variable is changed, and the dependent variable is measured
Both variables are kept constant
Both variables are ignored
What is quantitative data?
A way to collective data by only observing
Numbers and are obtained by counting or measuring
Descriptions and involve characteristics that can not be counted
Data that is used in quantum physics
An example of qualitative data is..
The colour of something
The number of leaves a tree has
The height something grew
How far something travelled
