  1. MCA Practice 8th Grade

  2. Scientific Method Review

  3. 1. Ask Question • Ask a question to find out more information or to solve a problem. • What does this fossil show? • What kind of medicine will cure a disease?

  4. 2. Do Background Research • Find as much information on the problem or question as possible. • You may be able to answer your question with simple research and avoid an lengthy experiment!

  5. 3. Construct Hypothesis • An explanation based on limited information. Must be further researched to determine its accuracy or truthfulness.

  6. 4. Test with Experiment • Construct a measurable experiment • Collect Data: • Information such as numbers, images, or words, gathered in an experiment.

  7. 5. Analyze Results/Draw Conclusions • Conclusion - The result of an experiment, action, or process.

  8. 6a. Hypothesis True? • Report Results • Show Data, graphs etc. • Write explanation • Report - A well-written scientific paper containing a hypothesis, explanation of experiment, all gathered data, and a conclusion of results.

  9. 6b. Hypothesis False? • Still report results! • Go back through the method and try again! • Report - A well-written scientific paper containing a hypothesis, explanation of experiment, all gathered data, and a conclusion of results.

  10. Test Vocabulary

  11. Calculate • Do a mathematical equation

  12. Rate, Speed, Velocity • Speed=distance/time • How fast something is moving

  13. Observation • The act of noting or observing something. Observations are always recorded.

  14. Hypothesis • An explanation based on limited information. Must be further researched to determine its accuracy or truthfulness.

  15. Variables Variable - An aspect of an experiment that changes. Independent variable: The variable controlled. Dependent variable: The variable that is measured.

  16. Data • Information such as numbers, images, or words, gathered in an experiment.

  17. Scientific Theory • An explanation of natural phenomena. Scientific theories are supported by facts, observations, and repeatable experimentation. • These theories may change as technology advances and better observations are made. • Examples: Cell Theory, Theory of Plate Tectonics, Gravitational Theory

  18. Density • Density=mass/volume

  19. Mass • The amount of matter in an object

  20. Volume • The space taken up by an object, liquid, or gas

  21. Time • How long an event is • Seconds, minutes, or hours

  22. Correlate, Correlation • What is the correlation between gravity and mass? • Or, What is the relationship between gravity and mass? • How do two things effect one another

  23. Heterotroph, Consumer • Heterotroph – cannot make its own food • Consumes other organisms for energy

  24. Autotroph, Producer • Can produce its own food • Consumes food that it has produced itself

  25. Decomposer • Breaks down dead or dying organisms
