1. Procedures & Collecting Data
How Scientists Solve Problems

2. Learning Scale
4 (All of 3 +) – Evaluate a scientific investigation based on the evidence provided. 3 (All of 2 +) – Interpret and analyze data. Describe and analyze the methods used in science. 2 (All of 1 +) – Differentiate between test and outcome variables. Differentiate between repetition and replication. 1 - Identify and describe the steps of scientific inquiry.

3. Design the Experiment
Create a procedure, step by step list, of how to perform the experiment
You must include multiple trials (repetition)

4. Repetition or Replication?
In repetition, you conduct multiple trials (repeat your experiment).
In replication, someone else repeats the experiment using your procedure.

5. Why is repetition & replication important?
To make sure that your results are accurate.

6. Collecting Data Create a data table. Types of Data:
Qualitative: Descriptions
Quantitative: Numbers
Object
Mass (g)
Volume (mL)
Ball
Beaker
Penny
