Presentation transcript:

Make as many observations as you can.

Infer what happened based on your observations.

Scientific Methods

Observation vs. Inference Observation -- information collected with the senses. FACTS! Inference -- conclusion or judgment based on observations May be biased

Scientific Methods -- ways of thinking that involve testing Steps: An Observation makes you curious so you do preliminary research 2. Develop a Research Question 3. Make a hypothesis – a testable prediction

4. Test hypothesis -- make observations by experiment or collecting evidence (experimental vs. observational science) 5. Analyze data – use graphs Draw a conclusion – make inferences -- Was hypothesis supported? 7. Repeat and share – make a new hypothesis if needed

After many, many tests a hypothesis may become a theory. Theory – well-tested and widely accepted explanation for a set of observations
