- 4. WHAT IS THESCIENTIFIC METHOD? The Scientific Method is a general pattern followed by scientists when conducting an experiment. Is there only one version of the scientific method? No…there are many variations of it, but all seek to identify a problem and provide an organized method for conducting and analyzing an experiment!
- 5. THE STEPS OFTHE SCIENTIFIC METHOD Observe Question Hypothesis Experiment Results/Conclusion
- 6. OBSERVE You observe atopic that can generate questions for further research.
- 7. QUESTION You ask aquestion about what is being observed. Identify the problem or question.
- 8. HYPOTHESIS Based on yourobservations, you make an educated guess on what you think the outcome of the experiment, or the answer to your question will be. Do you ever change your hypothesis after realizing it didn’t turn out the way you thought it would? NO!!
- 9. EXPERIMENT You will developand follow a procedure to test your hypothesis. The outcome must be measurable.
- 10. RESULTS/CONCLUSION You will recordthe results of your experiment, and repeat the experiment if needed. You will state if your hypothesis was accepted or not and explain your results.
- 11. • All factorsare the same for the control and experimental groups EXCEPT for one. The ONE factor that differs is called the VARIABLE. • Any differences observed are most likely caused by the VARIABLE. CONTROL GROUP & EXPERIMENTAL GROUP-
- 12. WHAT ARE THEVARIABLES IN AN EXPERIMENT? Independent Variable- the variable that is intentionally changed in an experiment to observe its effect on the dependent variable. Dependent Variable- What is observed during the experiment; It changes as a result. Controlled Experiment- Changing one factor and observing its effect on another while keeping all other factors constant.
