2. Observations that lead to asking questions
Must be measurable/testable
Must be an if…then statement, have an independent variable and increase/decrease
Must be measurable/testable
Decide on materials, safety codes, step-by-step procedures
Variables:
Dependent
Independent
Controlled

3. Observations: Qualitative and Quantitative
Measure, estimate, and calculate as the data is being collected
Decide if you will use tables, charts, graphs, diagrams, and/or classify the data
Is the hypothesis proven or disproven?
Does it lead to the development of a new hypothesis or question?
