Slide 2 of 21

Slide 3 of 21 The Scientific Method involves a series of steps that are used to investigate a natural occurrence.

Slide 4 of 21 Problem Research Hypothesis Experiment Results Conclusion Communicate the Results

Slide 5 of 21 Steps of the Scientific Method Problem/Question 1. Problem/Question: Develop a question or problem that can be solved through experimentation.

Slide 6 of 21 Steps of the Scientific Method Observation/Research 2. Observation/Research: Make observations and research your topic of interest.

Slide 7 of 21 Steps of the Scientific Method Formulate a Hypothesis 3. Formulate a Hypothesis: Predict a possible answer to the problem or question. Example: If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will increase.

Slide 8 of 21 Steps of the Scientific Method Experiment 4. Experiment: Develop and follow a procedure. Include a detailed materials list. The outcome must be measurable (quantifiable).

Slide 9 of 21 Steps of the Scientific Method Collect and Analyze Results 5. Collect and Analyze Results: Confirm the results by retesting. Include tables, graphs, and photographs.

Slide 10 of 21 Steps of the Scientific Method Conclusion 6. Conclusion: accept or rejects the hypothesis. Make recommendations for further study and possible improvements to the procedure.

Slide 11 of 21 Steps of the Scientific Method Communicate the Results 7. Communicate the Results: Be prepared to present the project to an audience. Expect questions from the audience.

Slide 12 of 21

Slide 13 of 21 Vocabulary Control Independent Variable Dependent Variable Constants Hypothesis Experiment Trials Conclusion

Slide 14 of 21 Control Group In a scientific experiment, the control is the group that serves as the standard of comparison. The control group may be a “no treatment" or an “experimenter selected” group.

Slide 15 of 21 Control Group The control group is exposed to the same conditions as the experimental group, except for the variable being tested. All experiments should have a control group.

Slide 16 of 21 Do you know the difference between the independent and dependent variables?

Slide 17 of 21 Independent Variable The independent, or manipulated variable, is a factor that’s intentionally varied by the experimenter.

Slide 18 of 21 Dependent Variable The dependent, or responding variable, is the factor that may change as a result of changes made in the independent variable.

Slide 19 of 21 What are the constants in an experiment? Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Slide 20 of 21 Constants The constants in an experiment are all the factors that the experimenter attempts to keep the same.

Slide 21 of 21 Let’s put our knowledge of the Scientific Method to a realistic example that includes some of the terms you’ll be needing to use and understand.

Slide 22 of 21 Problem/Question John watches his grandmother bake bread. He ask his grandmother what makes the bread rise. She explains that yeast releases a gas as it feeds on sugar.

Slide 23 of 21 Problem/Question John wonders if the amount of sugar used in the recipe will affect the size of the bread loaf?

Slide 24 of 21 Formulate a Hypothesis After talking with his teacher and conducting further research, he comes up with a hypothesis. “If more sugar is added, then the bread will rise higher.”

Slide 25 of 21 Observation/Research John researches the areas of baking and fermentation and tries to come up with a way to test his question. He keeps all of his information on this topic in a journal.

Slide 26 of 21 John talks with his teacher and she gives him a Experimental Design Diagram to help him set up his investigation.

Slide 27 of 21 Can you think of some constants for this experiment?

Slide 28 of 21 Constants They might include: Other ingredients to the bread recipe, oven used, rise time, brand of ingredients, cooking time, type of pan used, air temperature and humidity where the bread was rising, oven temperature, age of the yeast…

Slide 29 of 21 Experiment John writes out his procedure for his experiment along with a materials list in his journal. He has both of these checked by his teacher where she checks for any safety concerns.

Slide 30 of 21 Trials Trials refer to replicate groups that are exposed to the same conditions in an experiment. John is going to test each sugar variable 3 times.

Slide 31 of 21 Collect and Analyze Results John comes up with a table he can use to record his data. John gets all his materials together and carries out his experiment.

Slide 32 of 21 Size of Baked Bread (LxWxH) cm 3 Amt. of Sugar (g.) 123Average Size (cm 3 ) Size of Bread Loaf (cm 3 ) Trials Control group

Slide 33 of 21 Collect and Analyze Results John examines his data and notices that his control worked the best in this experiment, but not significantly better than 100g. of sugar.

Slide 34 of 21 Conclusion John rejects his hypothesis, but decides to re-test using sugar amounts between 50g. and 100g.

Slide 35 of 21 Experiment Once again, John gathers his materials and carries out his experiment. Here are the results.

Slide 36 of 21 Can you tell which group did the best?

Slide 37 of 21 Size of Baked Bread (LxWxH) cm 3 Amt. of Sugar (g.) 123Average Size (cm 3 ) Size of Bread Loaf (cm 3 ) Trials Control group

Slide 38 of 21 Conclusion John finds that 70g. of sugar produces the largest loaf. His hypothesis is accepted.

Slide 39 of 21 Communicate the Results John tells his grandmother about his findings and prepares to present his project in Science class.
