What is the correct order of steps when performing the scientific method?

Make Observations, Form a Hypothesis, Experiment, gather data, and Conclude

Once they form a hypothesis, what do scientists do next?

design experiments to test their hypothesis

How do scientists form a hypothesis?

by asking questions about their observations

What is a conclusion?

The decision or realization based on the facts you have

What does it mean to control variables?

to keep as many things the same as possible across the experiment

Why do scientists write down every details of an experiment?

so they can do over the experiment to compare results

Why don’t scientists stop with the first step in the Scientific Method, making observations?

They want to test what they observe to make sure it is correct

1
What is the correct order of steps when performing the scientific method?
Form a hypothesis, Gather data, Make observations, and Draw Conclusions
Experiment, Form a hypothesis, make observations, and draw conclusions
Make Observations, Form a Hypothesis, Experiment, gather data, and Conclude
Make observations, experiment, form a hypothesis, and gather data
2
Once they form a hypothesis, what do scientists do next?
design experiments to test their hypothesis
compare their hypotheses to other scientists'
ask the question, "Why?"
draw conclusions based on their predictions
3
How do scientists form a hypothesis?
by writing down everything they see
by drawing conclusions from their data
by designing experiments
by asking questions about their observations
4
What do scientists do when they run an experiment?
change parts of the experiment
write down their observations
Walk away from the experiment
develop a hypothesis
5
What is a hypothesis?
An experiment
A conclusion
A prediction
A variable
6
What is a conclusion?
A testable prediction about how the experiment will turn out
When you record the data
A scientific test to try out a theory or see the effect of something
The decision or realization based on the facts you have
7
What does it mean to control variables?
to keep as many things the same as possible across the experiment
to use different colored objects for all of the partsof an experiment
to not touch anything once you set up the parts of an experiment
to take complete notes about everything you observe in the experiment
8
Why do scientists write down every details of an experiment?
because they always change their hypothesis
because they do not take any pictures
so they can leave the experiment alone to run itself
so they can do over the experiment to compare results
9
What is used to organize the data obtained from an experiment?
Computer
Test Tubes and Beakers
Graphs and Tables
Pencil and Paper
10
Why don’t scientists stop with the first step in the Scientific Method, making observations?
They don't think that observations are a very good place to start
They don't trust their own observations and want others' opinions
They would rather run experiments than observe the world around them
They want to test what they observe to make sure it is correct
