What do we use the Scientific Method for? The scientific method is an organized plan. THE GOAL Solve a problem Better understand something

Scientific Method Steps Problem/Question What do you want to know? Research Hypothesis Experiment Test your hypothesis Collect and Analyze Data Conclusion Accept, reject, or modify the hypothesis

Parts of an Experiment Variable Factor that changes Three types Independent variable Dependent variable Control An experiment usually has three kinds of variables!

Parts of an Experiment Independent Variable Dependent Variable Control/Constant Factors that a scientist wants to remain constant. Why would there need to be a constant? Independent Variable Is the ONE that is changed by the scientist. Why just one? Dependent Variable the things that the scientist focuses his or her observations on to see how they respond to the change made to the independent variable.
