1. The Adventures of Science

2. Building an Awesome Experiment
Problem Statement- a question that has measurable results
Prediction (Hypothesis)- what you think will happen (an educated guess)

3. Building an Awesome Experiment
Materials- list of items and equipment which includes quantities needed.

4. Building an Awesome Experiment
Experimental Design- set of steps that you follow to test
You must consider…
Variable- factor that can affect the results of the experiment
Control- things that do NOT change

5. Building an Awesome Experiment
Observation- this is what you see, hear, feel taste and smell before, during and after the experiment.
This is also called “Evidence”

6. What is an Experiment?
Experiment- a test that gives you evidence that YOU CAN SEE to answer a question.

7. Building an Awesome Experiment
Results (aka. Gathering Data)- the answer to your problem statement
Trials-Must be repeated
Prove Data
Recording Data is Charted
Analyzing is Graphed

8. Building an Awesome Experiment
Conclusion- explanations that are based on evidence from observations and results.
Inference- an explanation of information that is based on facts that were not seen.
