Unit 1: Scientific Method Test-ES

In the thrilling adventure of scientific discovery, which of the following is NOT a step in the scientific method? Join Scarlett, Aria, and Michael as they explore the wonders of science!

• Make observation

• Form a theory

• Collect data

• Form a hypothesis

In a fun science experiment, Evelyn, Arjun, and Jackson are testing how different liquids affect plant growth. Each plant gets a special drink: water, apple juice, or milk. All plants enjoy the same amount of soil, sunlight, and even groove to the same tunes. In this exciting investigation, the independent variable is ...

• The type of plant

• The amount of sunlight

• The type of music

• The type of liquid

Imagine you're a scientist like Luna or Aiden, and you're conducting an experiment. The dependent variable means...

• the scientist controls what to test

• educated guess

• ask a question

• what is being measured

Grace and Scarlett are on a quest to discover the secrets of the scientific method! Can you help them by choosing the correct sequence of steps?

• Conclusion, Experimentation, Hypothesis, Observation

• Observation, Experimentation, Hypothesis, Conclusion

• Observation, Hypothesis, Experimentation, Conclusion

• Experimentation, Conclusion, Observation, Hypothesis

Imagine you're in a classroom with Grace, Avery, and William. The teacher asks, 'Which type of data involves numbers that are obtained by counting or measuring?'

• quantitative

• qualitative

Evelyn, Harper, and Aria are on a mission to discover which brand of soda creates the most epic foam explosion when a Mentos candy is added. They tested three different sodas and measured the height of the foam eruption.   What is the dependent variable?

• Brand of soda

• Number of mentos candies used

• Height of foam eruption

• Temperature of soda

Lily and William are having a friendly debate. Can you help them settle it? What is the basic unit of length?

• foot

• gram

• meter

• yards

Hey budding scientists! Imagine you're in the lab with Oliver, Arjun, and Samuel, ready to conduct an experiment. How many independent variables should your 'valid' experiment have to keep it on track?

• Just one!

• Two, for double the fun!

• Three, because the more the merrier!

• It doesn't matter, let's go wild!

During a fun science class, Rohan and Hannah are observing insects. Rohan notes, "The insect in Container B has six appendages." What type of scientific observation is this?

• quanitative

• qualitative

• inference

• hypothesis

Hey science enthusiasts! Imagine you're a detective like Avery, Evelyn, and Olivia, solving the mystery of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels since 1880. Which of the following conclusions can you draw from the graph?

• Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are responsible for global temperature change.

• Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been rising at about the same rate for the past century.

• Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have remained the same over the past century.

• Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been rising at an increasingly higher rate as the past century has progressed.
