The Scientific Method and Investigation
The Path to Scientific Investigation
Research a Problem Form a Hypothesis
Analyze Results Conduct an Experiment
The Skills You Use for the Investigation
1.
Observation = making use of your senses to see what is going on
2.
Inference = give an explanation to what is going on base on your observations
3.
Predicting = guessing what will happen based on evidence or past patterns
4.
Measuring = assigning numbers, with the proper units, to data
5.
Comparing = determining if your hypothesis is supported by your data
6.
Communicate = share your results with others
Parts of an Experiment
1.
Hypothesis = a prediction or guess to what is happening, based on observations
2.
Independent Variable = the part of the experiment that you can change or manipulate
3.
Dependent Variable = the result or outcome of the experiment, caused by the I.
V.
4.
Constants = the parts of the experiments that stay the same
5.
Control = the
Less
