4. Scientific Method 200 What is included in the data/results section?
Graphs, observations, charts, data table

5. Scientific Method 300 What is the purpose of the conclusion?
To summarize the results of their experiment

6. Scientific Method 400 List the steps of the scientific method in order
Problem statement, background research, hypothesis, procedure, data/results, conclusion

7. Scientific Method 100
What type of sentence must the problem statement be?
Question

8. Scientific Method 200 What is the purpose of a problem statement?
What the scientist wants to explain or know about

9. Scientific Method 300 Why is background information important?
So the scientist can make a good hypothesis and plan their experiment.

10. Scientific Method 400
Why is it important to do your background research before making a hypothesis?
So you can make an educated guess

11. Define control variable
Variables 100
Define control variable
What the scientist wants to keep constant or the same

12. Define dependent variable
Variables 200
Define dependent variable
The variable that is measure or observed
DEPENDS on the independent variable

13. The variable that the scientist changes
Variables 300
Define independent variable
The variable that the scientist changes

14. Variables 400 Why is it important to have control variables?
So your experiment is as accurate as possible

15. Variable Example 100 temperature
What is the independent variable in the following problem statement: How does temperature affect the growth of tadpoles?
temperature

16. Same test, same scores before the test, same environment.
Variables Example200
A teacher allowed his third period class to eat snacks while taking an exam. His fourth period class was not allowed to eat snacks while taking the same exam. He compared the test averages from both classes. Prior to this, both classes averaged comparable exam scores.
Name ONE control variable
Same test, same scores before the test, same environment.

17. Variables Example 300
A teacher allowed his third period class to eat snacks while taking an exam. His fourth period class was not allowed to eat snacks while taking the same exam. He compared the test averages from both classes. Prior to this, both classes averaged comparable exam scores.
Name the independent variable
Snacks or no snacks

18. Variables Example 400
A teacher allowed his third period class to eat snacks while taking an exam. His fourth period class was not allowed to eat snacks while taking the same exam. He compared the test averages from both classes. Prior to this, both classes averaged comparable exam scores.
Name the dependent variable
Scores on the test
