Notes SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures Tools and Procedures in Science  The procedures used in science are called the scientific method Scientific Method (In Flow Chart Format)  These procedures involve thoroughly examining events and items in nature, finding patterns, and drawing logical conclusions based on verifiable evidence

Notes Step 1: Make Observations Step 2: Ask A Question Step 3: Form A Hypothesis Step 4: Test The Hypothesis  By doing experiments Step 5: Analyze The Results Step 6: Draw Conclusions Step 7: Communicate results Scientific Method (In List Format)  A key procedure is when test your hypothesis by doing detailed and thorough experiments (step 4 shown above) SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures Tools and Procedures in Science  The procedures used in science are called the scientific method

Experiments  In an experiment you measure a quantities and/or qualities  In an experiment you should conduct multiple trials  Experiments should include independent variables, dependent variables, constants, and controls. Example:  Scientists could be testing a new vaccine for the flu virus to determine how effective it is  Scientists could be measuring how air pollution damages plants and animals  Scientists could be measuring the output of solar flares to determine how they might damage our communication satellites Notes SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures

In an experiment… …you should only test for ONE key thing at a time This is called the… Notes SPI 0807.Inq.1 (Variables and Controls) Experiments …after you introduce the independent variable, you observe what happens. This response/result is called the… Items or events that are repeated exactly the same way each time you duplicate an experiment are called… NOTE: You should also conduct a control experiment where you either eliminate out the independent variable or use a neutral independent variable (called a placebo)

In an experiment…  …you measure things with the metric system using scientific tools such as… Notes Experiments  …a triple beam balance  …a metric ruler or meter stick  …a graduated cylinder  …a spring scale -measures force (weight) -measures volume -measures length -measures mass SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures  …a metric thermometer -measures temperature  …a stop watch -measures time -measures acidity and basicity  …a pH indicator

Notes Scientific Tools SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures

Notes Scientific Tools  …a graduated cylinder -measures volume SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures In an experiment… …you measure things with the metric system using tools such as: -unit of measure: liters -examples: milliliter (mL), liter (L) -can be converted to cubic centimeters etc. -measures both liquid volume and volume of irregular solids

In an experiment… …you measure things with the metric system using tools such as: Notes Scientific Tools  …a triple beam balance (or electric balance) -measures mass SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures -unit of measure: grams -examples: milligrams (mg), grams (g), kilograms (kg)

In an experiment… …you measure things with the metric system using tools such as: Notes Scientific Tools  …a metric ruler or meter stick -measures length SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures -unit of measure: meters -examples: millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm), meter (m), kilometer (km)

In an experiment… …you measure things with the metric system using tools such as: Notes Scientific Tools  …a metric thermometer -measures temperature SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures -unit of measure: degrees-celsius (C) or kelvins (K)

In an experiment… …you could measure the strength of an acid or base with a… Notes  …pH Indicator -measures acidity and basicity SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures -unit of measure: pH scale reading from 0 to 14 Scientific Tools

In an experiment… …you also might use…… Notes …beakers SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures Scientific Tools …flasks …bunsen burners beaker flask …test tubes Test tubes bunsen burner
