Step 1: Make observations about the natural world
Scientific Method
My opinions on what I think the answer is
Data or observations only from an experiment or the environment
Step 2A: Ask a Question
Step 5: Analyze the Results
Step 6: Write/Draw Conclusions
Step 3: Make a Hypothesis
Scientific Evidence
Step 2B: Do Research
Step 4: Perform the Experiment
Scientific Questions
I write a final claim based on the evidence anyway
Ignore the evidence (experimental data) and write what I think the correct answer is
When we looked at different slides under the microscope that ALL had different amount of cellulose in them to see how thick the outer membrane was for each.
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) NEVER comes from...
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then I NEVER
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then...
Stepwise process used to answer a question through experimentation
This is where we watched a video of what cellulose is.
This is where we answered the question "How does the amount of cellulose effect the cell thickness" BEFORE performing the experiment
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) comes from...
These are observations, numbers, data, etc. gathered during a lab/experiment
When we looked at a picture of cells belonging to a plant, animal, and protist and compared them.
Factual questions that are answered without feeling or opinions
We identified some Sci Q's based on our observations of the cells in the picture like "How does the amount of cellulose effect the cell thickness"
When we examined our observations of what we saw during the lab and organized them by cell membrane thickness AND by amount of cellulose in each cell.
This is where we answered the question "How does the amount of cellulose effect the cell thickness" AFTER performing the experiment
