Scientific Method Jeopardy Variables Variables Example Graphing Graphing 2 100 200 300 400 Final Jeopardy!!
Scientific Method 100 What is included in the procedure? Detailed steps and a list of materials
Scientific Method 200 What is included in the data/results section? Graphs, observations, charts, data table
Scientific Method 300 What is the purpose of the conclusion? To summarize the results of their experiment
Scientific Method 400 List the steps of the scientific method in order Problem statement, background research, hypothesis, procedure, data/results, conclusion
Scientific Method 100 What type of sentence must the problem statement be? Question
Scientific Method 200 What is the purpose of a problem statement? What the scientist wants to explain or know about
Scientific Method 300 Why is background information important? So the scientist can make a good hypothesis and plan their experiment.
Scientific Method 400 Why is it important to do your background research before making a hypothesis? So you can make an educated guess
Define control variable Variables 100 Define control variable What the scientist wants to keep constant or the same
Define dependent variable Variables 200 Define dependent variable The variable that is measure or observed DEPENDS on the independent variable
The variable that the scientist changes Variables 300 Define independent variable The variable that the scientist changes
Variables 400 Why is it important to have control variables? So your experiment is as accurate as possible
Variable Example 100 temperature What is the independent variable in the following problem statement: How does temperature affect the growth of tadpoles? temperature
Same test, same scores before the test, same environment. Variables Example200 A teacher allowed his third period class to eat snacks while taking an exam. His fourth period class was not allowed to eat snacks while taking the same exam. He compared the test averages from both classes. Prior to this, both classes averaged comparable exam scores. Name ONE control variable Same test, same scores before the test, same environment.
Variables Example 300 A teacher allowed his third period class to eat snacks while taking an exam. His fourth period class was not allowed to eat snacks while taking the same exam. He compared the test averages from both classes. Prior to this, both classes averaged comparable exam scores. Name the independent variable Snacks or no snacks
Variables Example 400 A teacher allowed his third period class to eat snacks while taking an exam. His fourth period class was not allowed to eat snacks while taking the same exam. He compared the test averages from both classes. Prior to this, both classes averaged comparable exam scores. Name the dependent variable Scores on the test
