Step 6: Write/Draw Conclusions from the lab
Identify the controlled variable for: "How is the visibility of the dye effected by the amount of dye?"
Step 5: Analyze the Results from the lab
I write a final claim based on the evidence anyway
Identify the independent variable for: "How is the visibility of the dye effected by the amount of dye?"
Step 4: Perform the Experiment to answer the question
Step 2B: Do Research on the question OR concepts surrounding the question
Scientific Method
Identify the dependent variable for: "How is the visibility of the dye effected by the amount of dye?"
Step 3: Make a Hypothesis on the question
Step 2A: Ask a Question that can be answered with an experiment
Ignore the evidence (experimental data) and write what I think the correct answer is
Data or observations only from an experiment or the environment
My opinions on what I think the answer is
Step 1: Make observations about the natural world
Scientific Questions
Scientific Evidence
Factual questions that are answered without feeling or opinions
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) NEVER comes from...
Stepwise process used to answer a question through experimentation
Type of cell
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then I NEVER
Amount of dye
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then...
Visibility of the cell
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) comes from...
These are observations, numbers, data, etc. gathered during a lab/experiment
