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