Experimental Design To Procedures

Front 1

The process that scientist use to answer questions and solve problems.

Back 1

Scientific Method

Front 2

A prediction or guess about the relationship between the variables that can be tested.

Back 2

Hypothesis

Front 3

The steps you use when conducting an experiment to test your hypothesis.

Back 3

Procedures

Front 4

The variable that is PURPOSEFULLY CHANGED by the experimenter.

Back 4

Independent Variable

Front 5

The variable that RESPONDS TO THE CHANGE. (THE OUTCOME)

Back 5

Dependent Variable

Front 6

All factors that remain and have a fixed value throughout the entire experiment.

Back 6

Constants

Front 7

All of the variables that are controlled and used as a comparison for the independent variable; the standard for comparing experimental effects.

Back 7

Controls

Front 8

Use of the 5 senses to gain information in order to answer questions in science.

Back 8

Observation

Front 9

Information that is gathered through testing; usually collected in the form of tables, charts, or graphs.

Back 9

Data

Front 10

The number of experimental repetitions tested at each level of the independent variable - to ensure accurate results in case of errors.

Back 10

Repeated Trials

Front 11

A summary after an experiment, that analyzes and evaluates your data, results, and hypothesis.

Back 11

Conclusion

Front 12

What kind of observations use adjectives and adverbs to describe things. They are observations or data that tells WHAT KIND. Example: Color, Shape, Texture

Back 12

Qualitative Observations

Front 13

What kind of observations involve actual numbers? They are observations or data that tell HOW MUCH.

Back 13

Quantitative observations

Front 14

To separate into groups based on specific attributes.
