Scientific Method Test Review

Use your evidence to answer the focus question during this step.

The part of the experiment that stays the same throughout testing.

You need to determine if your hypothesis was correct or not using evidence during this step.

In this step, you list your materials and give step-by-step directions.

Materials: 2 pots, soil, plants the same size, water

1. Put 2 cups soil in each pot.  2. Plant one plant in each pot. 3. Cover roots with more soil.

My hypothesis is correct because...

During a lab, the height of the ramp is tested at 5 cm, 3 cm, and 10 cm. This is an example of

When you keep track of how tall the corn grows after different fertilizers were tested

You will reflect on your lab during this step.

any factor that can be changed in an experiment

How will changing the height of the ramp affect the speed of the car?

During which step of the scientific method might you see something like this?

-different surfaces make different amounts of friction -higher the height of ramp=greater speed

You might see this during which step.

same pots, same soil, same plant size

a variable that you measure; data you're collecting; responding variable

results you can trust to be true and accurate

Information collected is known as this____.

Record observations using a chart, graph, table, or drawing.

This is the step where you record the independent variable, dependent variable, and control.

A manipulated variable in an experiment that you change.

to study or examine data in detail to make sense of your results

You need to research for this step to help you design your investigation.

Summarize everything that happened during your investigation during this step.

In this step you write down anything you already know to help you write your hypothesis.

This is a prediction of what you think the answer to the question is.

Any factor that can be changed in an experiment.

If...then...because...
