Scientific Method

What is a hypothesis?

What is the last step in the scientific method?

When designing an experiment, the 1 st step is make observations in the world around you. When you make observations, it leads you to ask a ____________________. You are trying to solve a problem that you would like an answer to. By asking this, you will hopefully find an answer by designing and carrying out an experiment.

A ___________________ is a prediction or a guess about the problem you are trying to find an answer to in the experiment.

_________________ are the supplies and materials that you use during the science experiment.

You make a(n) ______________________ when you use your 5 senses to describe an object or what is taking place. (I see the bubbles in the liquid, I hear popping, I smell something sour, I feel a smooth surface.)

____________________ are all of the actions you take during an experiment. This is where you list all of the steps you take to complete your experiment.

_______________ are the outcomes, products, consequences, or effects of the experiment; this is what you have observed and recorded during and after the experiment is completed. This information is usually recorded on a graph.

To ____________________________, means to take your results and observations and the information you recorded on a graph during your experiment and make inferences based on the data.

In the _________________________, you write whether your hypothesis was proven (correct) or disproven (wrong). In this section, you also explain why you think certain results happened.
