Scientific Method: What scientists do!

Ask a Question/determine a purpose

Comes from observing

Form a hypothesis=educated guess

Collect data

Control group=the group not receiving the factor being tested, nothing is done to this group

Independent variable=one part of an experiment that can change, determines the outcome

Dependent variable= factor being measured in an experiment

Analyze the Data

Graphs, tables, charts, etc.

Report Conclusion

What do scientists do?

Gather

Reason

Communicate

Science vs. Engineers

Scientists

•Ask questions about the world

•Test theories

•Communicate

Information

•Chemist: finds out information about elements or chemical reactions, does experiements

Engineers

•Define problems

•Test possible solutions

•Design and Build

•Chemical Engineer: design water wells, design plastics, cleaning supplies, design solutions for oil spills, ect.

Science and Engineering Love

Models!

Explain things that we can’t see

Allow for us to test hypothesizes

Are not perfect representations

Communicate through

Argumentation:

Evidence vs. Claim

Claim: a statement that answers the question

Evidence: scientific data that supports the claim
