Objectives

Explore the scientific method steps through an experiment to determine whether it's better to run or walk in the rain to stay dry. Learn problem-solving skills and decision-making processes with a focus on using charts and graphs for data analysis. Dive into the process of forming hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting data, and reporting findings to the scientific community. Discover the role of variables, trials, and data analysis in conducting a successful experiment.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Objectives Identify the steps of the Scientific Method Design an experiment using the scientific method Design charts and/or graphs to collect and analyze data

  2. Warm Up Q = • When it is raining outside: • is it better to run through the rain or walk in order to stay more dry? • Why do you think this? • How could you test this? A = • [Opinion] • [Opinion] • Design an experiment

  3. How do you solve problems? What type of problems do people deal with everyday? What helps you make a decision on a solution?

  4. What’s that process in science for solving problems? SCIENTIFIC METHOD

  5. Steps of the scientific method: • problem or question • research problem / background info • Form an educated prediction (hypothesis) • Design a way to test hypothesis (plan experiment) • Test it • Check and interpret your results • Report your results to the scientific     community

  6. What to do with this chart…

  7. Is it better to Walk or Run in the Rain… What do the MythBusters have to say?

  8. Is it better to Walk or Run in the Rain… • Reviewing the results: • Problem • Research • Hypothesis • Plan Experiment • Data Collection • Experiment • Analyze • Share Findings

  9. Now its your turn to explore: • How many drops of water do you think can fit on one side of a penny?

  10. Planning an Experiment: • Use the Scientific Method to answer the following question: • How many drops of water fit on one side of a penny coin?” • Available Materials: • Pipette, Water, Penny, Cup • Consider the Following: • What are your variables? • How many trails do you need to perform? • How do you keep your results constant? • How will you collect and analyze data?

  11. Objectives Identify the steps of the Scientific Method Design an experiment using the scientific method Design charts and/or graphs to collect and analyze data
