1
What word refers to the information you collect during an investigation?
line
observation
data

Move onto next step
Do it again several more times--maybe there's a less obvious pattern
Ask an expert for an opinion--I need help!!!!
"Best of three?"--Need a tie-breaker...
3
After asking a question and researching, what do we do?
record data--Experiment time?
observe--gotta see it in action
make a graph-these look important and are convincing evidence
form a hypothesis, make a prediction
4
While designing your experiment, you should consider:
ensuring that the experiment is rigorous and replicable
how to make money from it
ethics--is my method ethical?
consequences--physical and moral
5
A procedure carried out to help us observe and study our surroundings.
investigation
data
observation
experiment
6
What is the first step in the Scientific Method?
research--I don't know what I want to know but I'll research anyway!
define terms--"noun plural noun: terms; word for a concept" -Google
draw conclusion--I already know everything
ask a question--I don't know everything, right?
7
Which word means an idea or conclusion based on observation.
data
observation
explanation

8

error
variable
duplicate

9
After I've done the experiment, what do I do?
Let the news know--Imma be famous!
Analyse the data--is there a pattern?
Form a conclusion--duh! The data speak for themselves!
Stop the investigation--we don't need a conclusion
10
What's the final step in the Scientific Method?
form a conclusion--maybe ask some new questions
ask an expert--Surely they have time now?
record data--woops! What was I doing during the experiment?
ask questions--"When does this quiz end?"
11
If my experiment goes wrong, does it still contribute to scientific knowledge?
Yes--as long as I recorded the variables, controls, and steps
No--I have not improved our knowledge of the world
12
After all controls and variables have been set, what do I do?
ExPeRiMeNt TiMe AnD rEcOrD ThE DaTa!
Experiment time! -- and record the data
EXPERIMENT TIME!
!atad + emit tnemirepxtE
13
If my experiment works, what do I do?
ask an expert--"Do you have a minute?"
do it again to make sure I get the same results or didn't make a mistake
record data--Case closed!
Form a conclusion--Case closed!
14
Which word means information collected by using our 5 senses?

data
observation
inference
15
If my experiment goes wrong, what do I do?

record that as the final answer--clearly it doesn't work
16
In an experiment, what is the part that does not change?
integer
control
change
item
17
After forming a hypothesis, what do we do?
More research--Just in case
Record data-- Experiment time?
Design experiment with controls and variables--knowledge needs parameters
Form a conclusion-- We've done enough research anway
18
Which word means a personal belief that is not necessarily true.
opinion
evidence
proof
fact
19
To sort by characteristics.
grade
classify
evidence
proof
20
After asking a question, what do we do next in the Scientific method?
ask another question--just in case...
background research--perhaps there's an answer or clues
collect data--experiment time?
draw a conclusion--I already have the answer...
21
What now?
Communicate with scientists--should probs peer review
Write to the local news--NOW imma be famous!
Communicate to the public--they have a right to know
Peer review--THEN reword science to layman's terms (science communication)
