What is the Scientific Method?
A series of steps kind of like a road map that scientists use to understand why and how things work
gathering information on a topic using our five senses. Examples: see, hear, taste, touch, and smell
Final step or process explaining if the hypothesis was correct
something that does not change
What does making observations mean?
something that does not change
a scientific test that you perform in a series of actions to carefully observe how something works or doesn't work to learn about
Facts about something that can be used for planning and reasoning
gathering information on a topic using our five senses. Examples: see, hear, taste, touch, and smell
What is a conclusion?
a scientific test that you perform in a series of action to carefully observe how something works or doesn't work to learn about it
Final step or process sumarizing the experiment and its results
should be "testable" and aims for answers to verify or explain a theory
facts about something that can used for planning and reasoning
in the scientific method this item remains the same through the entire experiment?
conclusion

constant
data
What part of the scientific method is this an example of?
The testable question you make at the beginning of the scientific method is called the....
variable
conclusion
hypothesis
procedure
There is only one way to do science.
True
False
Match the descriptions with the right step of the scientific method.
Check batteries to make sure they are in correctly, and all parts of flashlight are properly in place.
Observation
If I replace the batteries with new batteries, then the flashlight will turn on.
Research
Replace the batteries with new batteries to see if that solves the problem
Hypothesis
Flashlight is not turning on even though I press the power button
Experiment
Flashlight still does not work
Results
Match the descriptions to the correct step of the scientific method.
Slugs do not seem to be bothered by coffee grounds. Garden is still declining.
Observation
Place coffee grounds on top of the soil around the base of vegetable plants being eaten by slugs.
Research
If I sprinkle coffee grounds around my garden, it will decrease the slug population because caffeine is toxic to slugs
Hypothesis
Your leafy garden vegetables are eaten. You often find slugs on the leaves and near the garden.
Experiment
Look up what slugs eat and ways to humanely rid your garden of them.
Results
What is an experiment?
A scientific statement based on ideas
Using your senses to notice what is going on around you
the process of testing your hypothesis and gathering data
The question that you want an answer to.
A hypothesis is a testable statement or prediction.
What is data?
information you collect during an experiment
researching your question
answering your question
List the Scientific Process steps in order.

None of the above
Repetition is when one scientist
copies another scientist's experiment.
bumps into another scientists.
repeats their own experiment several times.
clones a T. rex.
What is the BEST reason you always repeat an experiment?
Make sure your data is consistent and accurate
Make sure your data supports your prediction
Make sure your experiment is easy to do
Make sure your experiment has lots of data
