3. Question 1 The Scientific Method
The procedure scientists use to help them explain why things happen is called…?
Check Answer

4. 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

5. Question 3 Quantitative and Qualitative
What are the 2 different types of observations known as?
Check Answer

6. Question 4
An inference
This is a conclusion that is made after making observations.
Check Answer

7. Question 5
hypothesis
This is an educated prediction about what will happen in your experiment.
Check Answer

8. Question 6 Controlled variables (constants)
These are what you do NOT change in the experiment.
Check Answer

9. Question 7 Qualitative= qualities (use senses)
Quantitative= quantities (use #s)
What is the difference between qualitative observations and quantitative observations?
Check Answer

10. Question 8 Manipulated (independent) variables
These are what you DO change in the experiment.
Check Answer

11. Question 9 The Conclusion
Analyze data and summarize findings during this stage of the scientific method.
Check Answer

12. 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

13. Question 11 True…to rule out any errors!
True or False? Always repeat your experiment.
Check Answer

14. Question 12 False…they must make sense based on your observations.
True or False? Inferences can be “off the wall.” (crazy)
Check Answer

15. 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

16. Question 14 True or False? Variables in an experiment always change.
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

17. 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

18. Question 16 Qualitative (use your senses)
“The juice is sour” is qualitative or quantitative?
Check Answer

19. 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

20. 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

21. Question 19
Miscounting or inaccurate measurements.
What are examples of human errors in scientific experiments?
Check Answer

22. 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?
