Scientific Method |
basic process of scientific investigation. Begins with posting a question and ends by drawing a conclusion based on reproducible experimental results |
|
|
Scientific method steps |
1. Posing a question- formulated after some observation for which there is no answer 2. Forming a hypothesis- makes an educated guess to the answer of the question, follow an "if/then" format 3. Conducting the test- ID the control, constants, independent variables and dependent variables 4. Observe and record data- drawings, graphs, illustrations. Observations are objective. Analysis and interpretation are subjective |
|
|
Independent variables |
factors we change in an experiment |
|
|
dependent variables |
changes that arise from the changes in the independent variable |
|
|
control |
something we compare our results with at the end of the experiment. It is like a refrence, proves the results occured because of the changed conditions |
|
|
constants |
factors we keep the same in an experiment to get reliable results |
