Scientific Method

A hypothesis is based on observations and research

• True

• False

The variable that is being tested, counted, or measured and is responding to the independent variable is known as 

• Control

• Constant

• Independent Variable

• Dependent Variable

What is a constant/control in an experiment?

• Things that do not change in a experiment. It's the variable that stays the same. You can have many variables stay the same.

• It's the variables that the scientist changes in the experiment

• It's the variables that are being measured in an experiment

THE PART OF THE EXPERIMENT THAT CHANGES AS A RESULT.

• CONTROL

• INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

• DEPENDENT VARIABLE

Another word for prediction or educated guess is: ________________

• hypothesis

• conclusion

• experiment

• data

What is a controlled variable?

• The variable being tested or changed by the scientist, also known as the manipulated variable.

• The variable that the

  scientist is measuring or

  observing, also known as the responding variable.

• The variables that the scientist keeps constant, which allows them to attribute the results to the independent variable alone.

A series of steps used by scientists to solve a problem or answer a question. 

• scientific method

• recipe

• data collection

• metric system

Should experiments be repeated over and over to see if the results are the same each time?

• yes

• no

The Scientific Method is a way for scientists to investigate the __________ around them!

• classroom

• land

• sun

• world

THE PART OF THE EXPERIMENT THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING

• CONTROL

• INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

• DEPENDENT VARIABLE
