2. It’s the first two
steps
in the Scientific
Method

3. ask a question based on an observation?
What is
ask a question based on an observation?

4. The basis of
your question

5. What is an observation?

6. An educated guess

7. What is a hypothesis?

8. It can lead to new questions

9. What is a conclusion?

10. How you test your prediction

11. What is design and conduct an experiment?

12. Anything changed that might affect the outcome

13. What is a variable?

14. It affected the number of swings of the pendulum

15. What is length of the string?

16. It affected the number of passengers a boat can hold

17. What is capacity?

18. It showed an upward trend

19. What is the relationship between capacity and number of passengers held?

20. This will cause a greater number of swings in 15 seconds

21. What is shortening the string?

22. Amount of water a boat can hold when it’s brim full

23. What is capacity?

24. Beginning with one penny in the middle

25. What is the standard boat loading procedure?

What is the standard boat loading procedure?

26. Capacity, placement of pennies, condition of seas

27. What can affect the number of passengers a boat can hold?

28. Independent variable and graphed on X-axis

29. What is capacity?

30. What I find out when I do an experiment

31. What is the dependent variable?

32. Mass hanging from a string that swings side to side

33. What is a pendulum?

34. The mass, type of string, length of string

35. What are variables?

36. Causes fewer swings

37. What is lengthening the string?

38. Tape, pencil, string, paper clip, penny

39. What is standard pendulum system?

40. The longer the string, the fewer the swings

41. What is the relationship between the length of the string and the number of swings?

42. One and only one variable is changed

43. What is a controlled experiment?

44. A set of related objects

45. What is a system?

46. Any motion or activity that repeats itself

47. What is a cycle?

48. The basic procedures used in an experiment

49. What is a standard?

50. Shows the outcome of a series of experiments

51. What is a two-coordinate graph?
