Step 1 of the Scientific Method
Independent (Manipulated) Variable
Hypothesis definition
Scientific Method
Question: How does the age of a person effect how fast they can run? The independent variable is:
Controlled Variable
Step 2 of the Scientific Method
Step 4 of the Scientific Method
Question: How does the age of a person effect how fast they can run? The dependent variable is:
Hypothesis needs what items
Dependent (Responding) Variable
Procedure includes what items
Question: How does the age of a person effect how fast they can run? The controlled variable is:
Step 3 of the Scientific Method
Steps in an Experiment includes:
1. What materials to use & how to use them 2. What is being recorded and how we are recording it
Come up with a procedure (experiment) to test your hypothesis
How fast they can run
What we measure in an experiment (the effect)
What we make different in an experiment (the cause)
The distance that is ran
Make observations about the natural world
1. Materials needed during an experiment 2. variables 3. steps/directions
Written in cause/effect (If...then...)
An explanation done before an experiment that is testable through an experiment.
Write a hypothesis (1st claim)
A series of steps used by scientists to solve a problem through experimentation
Age of the person
What we keep the same in an experiment
Ask a question AND research information surrounding that question
