Question 1
The Scientific Method
The procedure scientists use to help
them explain why things happen is
called…?
Check Answer
Question 2
The problem
This is what you’re trying to find out. It’s
always written in the form of a question.
Check Answer
Question 3
Quantitative and Qualitative
What are the 2 different types of
observations known as?
Check Answer
Question 4
An inference
This is a conclusion that is made after
making observations.
Check Answer
Question 5
hypothesis
This is an educated prediction about what
will happen in your experiment.
Check Answer
Question 6
Controlled variables (constants)
These are what you do NOT change in the
experiment.
Check Answer
Question 7
Qualitative= qualities (use senses)
Quantitative= quantities (use #s)
What is the difference between qualitative
observations and quantitative
observations?
Check Answer
Question 8
Manipulated (independent) variables
These are what you DO change in the
experiment.
Check Answer
Question 9
The Conclusion
Analyze data and summarize findings
during this stage of the scientific
method.
Check Answer
Question
10
Responding (dependent) variables
Ex. If more water is added, the height of the plant will change.
These change in response to the
manipulated variable.
Check Answer
Question
11
True…to rule out any errors!
True or False? Always repeat your
experiment.
Check Answer
Question
12
False…they must make sense
based on your observations.
True or False? Inferences can be “off the
wall.” (crazy)
Check Answer
Question
13
False…There are no numbers present.
You can see it is long by using your sight.
True or False? “The plant is long” would
be considered a quantitative observation.
Check Answer
Question
14
False…controlled (constants) always remain the
same from trial to trial in an experiment.
True or False? Variables in an experiment
always change.
Check Answer
Question
15
True…Between the problem and the conclusion
are six more steps which total 8 altogether!
True or False? There are 8 steps in the
scientific method that we’re learning.
Check Answer
Question
16
Qualitative (use your senses)
“The juice is sour” is qualitative or
quantitative?
Check Answer
Question
17
The distance they travel (depends
on what was changed on the plane)
If you throw different airplanes with the same force but they
travel different distances, what is the responding (dependent)
variable?
Check Answer
Question
18
False! You can’t organize data
before you’ve done the experiment!
True or False? You organize your data in
a chart or graph before you design your
experiment.
Check Answer
Question
19
Miscounting or inaccurate measurements.
What are examples of human errors in
scientific experiments?
Check Answer
Question
20
The child is smiling. How do you know they’re at
the beach? That would be an inference. They
could be in a sandbox.
If you’re looking at a picture of a child playing in
sand, which would be the observation… the
child is smiling or the child is at the beach?
