Quickly learn about the scientific method and experiment vocabulary. Order the steps, understand experiment terms, and ace your quiz with this interactive tutorial.
E N D
Quickly and quietly… *Grab a whiteboard, marker, and eraser. *The markers and erasers are in the top drawer of the cabinet under the calendar. *The boards are back by the fridge.
Part 1: Order of the scientific method • On the following slide, you will see the steps to the scientific method. • Next to each step will be a letter. • Put the letters in order that follows the scientific method.
Record and analyze data. Gather information. Repeat the experiment. Form a hypothesis. State your conclusion. State the problem. Perform the experiment.
Do your letters look like this??? • F, B, D, G, A, E, C • If so…YAY FOR YOU!!
Part II: Experiment vocabulary • Which word on the right is the variable in the experiment that you change (what you are testing)? • Variable • Constants • Independent Variable • Dependent Variable • Control Group Answer: Independent variable
Which word is a separate experiment that has no changes? • Variable • Constants • Independent Variable • Dependent Variable • Control Group Answer: Control Group
Which word means the parts of the experiment? These can change each time. • Variables • Constants • Independent Variable • Dependent Variable • Control Group Answer: Variables
Which word mean the variable in an experiment that responds to the change? This is the result. • Variables • Constants • Independent Variable • Dependent Variable • Control Group Answer: Dependent Variable
Which word are the parts of an experiment that stay the same? There can be MANY of these. • Variables • Constants • Independent Variable • Dependent Variable • Control Group Answer: Constants
Random question time!! • How many variables can you change in an experiment at once? • ONLY ONE • Which 2 words need to be in your hypothesis? • “If…then”
Back to the scientific method(The fun never ends!!!) • On the following slides you will see the steps of the Scientific Method in order. • Match up which step goes with what happens during that step. Write the letter on your board.
Test your hypothesis. Answer: D State the problem. Gather information Form a hypothesis. Perform an experiment. Record and analyze data. State your conclusion. Repeat the experiment.
Record the results on a table or graph. State the problem. Gather information Form a hypothesis. Perform an experiment. Record and analyze data. State your conclusion. Repeat the experiment. Answer: E
State the problem. Gather information Form a hypothesis. Perform an experiment. Record and analyze data. State your conclusion. Repeat the experiment. Do you need to learn any background information before you begin? Answer: B
State the problem. Gather information Form a hypothesis. Perform an experiment. Record and analyze data. State your conclusion. Repeat the experiment. You should be able to do the experiment again and get the same results. Answer: G
State the problem. Gather information Form a hypothesis. Perform an experiment. Record and analyze data. State your conclusion. Repeat the experiment. What are you trying to figure out? Answer: A
State the problem. Gather information Form a hypothesis. Perform an experiment. Record and analyze data. State your conclusion. Repeat the experiment. Educated guess as to what will happen that is written as an “If…then” statement. Answer: C
State the problem. Gather information Form a hypothesis. Perform an experiment. Record and analyze data. State your conclusion. Repeat the experiment. What happened and why? Answer: F
So how did you do?? • If you were able to get most of those right, then you are on the right track for Monday’s quiz. • There will also be a section for you to identify Independent and Dependent variables, as well as constants. • Study, study, study this weekend!!
