Research Investigation Process (RIP) Quiz

Ezekiel, Mia, and Zayden are on a mission to solve a mystery! They need to follow the Research Investigation Process (RIP). Can you help them identify the major sections of this process?

• Data Tables, Graphs, Discovery, Communication of Findings

• Introduction, Method, Data Collection, Discussion & Conclusion, Next Steps

• Observation, Hypothesis, Data Analysis, Error Analysis, Ongoing Research

• Variables, Subjects, Materials, Procedure

Taitus and Kai are working on a Research Investigation Project (RIP). Why would observations be important for them?

• To gather factual data using their 5 senses

• To communicate their research findings

• To formulate testable hypotheses

• To analyze and interpret their data

Zoe, Maya, and Grace are working on their Research Investigation Project (RIP). Why do you think they are asking so many questions?

• To analyze and interpret the data they are collecting

• To gather clear, up-to-date background research

• To focus their inquiry on something new and fascinating

• To select appropriate tools and techniques for their investigation

Why is background research important in a Research Investigation Process (RIP)?

• To gather factual data using the 5 senses

• To formulate the 'because' of a testable hypothesis

• To find interesting ideas from other scientists' results

• To troubleshoot procedures and avoid errors

What is a hypothesis?

• A conclusion drawn from data analysis

• An educated prediction about what will happen in the experiment

• A summary of the data collected in an experiment

• A graph that shows relationships between variables

What are the parts of the RIP method?

• Data Analysis, Error Analysis, Ongoing Research

• Data Tables, Graphs, Discovery, Communication of Findings

• Observation, Question, Hypothesis, Background Research

• Variables, Subjects, Materials, Procedure

What are the types of variables Sean and Isaiah need to plan for in their RIP project?

• Independent, Dependent, Control, Constants

• Data Analysis, Error Analysis, Ongoing Research

• Observation, Question, Hypothesis, Background Research

• Data Tables, Graphs, Discovery, Communication of Findings

What are the materials in a RIP?

• All the items and equipment needed to do the test

• Who or what the test is done on

• The steps to follow in the test

• The measurements and calculations in the test

Noah, Jessalyn, and Kai are trying to write the procedure for their RIP. What do they need to remember?

• to write out all the items they need to conduct the test plus how many of each one

• to make measurements and calculations during the test

• to count the number of subjects they will need to do the test on

• to write all the steps that they will need to follow during the test in time order

• to include steps that show how to measure the results of the test
