Scientific Method

Hypothesis

An educated guess about the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.

Communicate the results

Be prepared to present the project to an audience. Expect questions from the audience.

Problem/ Question

Develop a question or a problem that can be solved through experimentation

Experiment

Develop and follow a procedure. Include a detailed materials list. The outcome most be measurable(quantifiable)

Collect and analyze results is the _____ step in the scientific method

Fifth

Problem/Question is the _____ step in the scientific method

First

Experiment is the _____ step in the scientific method

Fourth

Conclusion

Include a statement that accepts or rejects the hypothesis. Make recommendations for further study and possible improvements to the procedure.

Observation/Research

Make observations and research your topic of interest.

Collect and analyze results

Modify the procedure if needed. Confirm the results by retesting. Include tables, graphs, and photographs

Formulate a hypothesis

Predict a possible answer to the problem or question.

Trails

replicate groups that are exposed to the same conditions in an experiment.

Control group

the group that serves as the standard of comparison. The control group may be a "no treatment" or an "experiment selected" group.

Independent variable

A factor that is intentionally varied by the experimenter.

Observation/Research is the _____ step in the scientific method

Second

Communicate results is the _____ step in the scientific method

Seventh

Conclusion is the _____ step in the scientific method

Sixth

Dependent Variable

The factor that may change as a result of changes made in the experiment.

Formulate a hypothesis is the _____ step in the scientific method

Third

constants

all factors that the experimenter attempts to keep the same.
