Scientific Method
My opinions on what I think the answer is
Step 1: Make observations about the natural world
Step 5: Analyze the Results from the lab
Step 2A: Ask a Question that can be answered with an experiment
Step 3: Make a Hypothesis on the question
Ignore the evidence (experimental data) and write what I think the correct answer is
Step 2B: Do Research on the question OR concepts surrounding the question
I write a final claim based on the evidence anyway
Data or observations only from an experiment or the environment
Step 6: Write/Draw Conclusions from the lab
Step 4: Perform the Experiment to answer the question
During this step we did this... We read and learned about the crime scene (lab that was broken into)
During this step we did this... looked at the unknown samples collected in the suspect's possession under the microscope
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) NEVER comes from...
Stepwise process used to answer a question through experimentation
During this step we did this... compared the unknown samples we saw from the crime scene and identified them
During this step we did this... Made a claim: "Is one of the samples found in the suspect's possession from the lab that was broken into?" based on the lab results only
During this step we did this... Made a claim: "Is one of the samples found in the suspect's possession from the lab that was broken into?" before doing the lab
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then I NEVER
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) comes from...
During this step we did this... Is one of the samples found in the suspect's possession from the lab that was broken into?
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then...
During this step we did this... learned about blood and its different components by reading about the science of blood
