THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
27
Scientific Method 6 Steps: 1. Identify the problem/ Form a question 3. Hypothesis 4. Controlled Experiment 4. 2. Observations 5. Record and Analyze Data 6. Conclusion
28
Maggots “appear” on Meat
29
1. Problem/Question:
30
2. OBSERVATIONS: (relevant to question)
31
3. HYPOTHESIS: (educated guess) Has to be testable “If.., then…” statement
32
4.EXPERIMENT - Controlled Experiment = only one variable is changed. - Variable = factors that can change.
33
PROCEDURE Controlled Variables: Manipulated Variables: “Independent Variable” Uncovered jarsCovered jars Several days pass Maggots appear No maggots appear Responding Variable: “Dependent Variable” Keep the same Change intentionally Changes due to IV
34
5.RECORD and ANALYZE DATA: - Quantitative = numbers by measuring or counting (Chart/Graph) - Qualitative = description (chart)
35
6. CONCLUSION: “The Hypothesis was correct. Maggots form only when flies come in contact with meat.” -Hypothesis correct/incorrect -Statement of results - Errors and Improvements
36
Several days pass Maggots appear No maggots appear Scientific Method 1. Question 2. Observe 3. Hypothesis 4. Experiment 5. Data 6. Conclusion If IV, then DV “Controlled” Variables
37
Publish experimental results in a Scientific Journal. repetition and validity Allows?
38
Theory = A well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations Other Theories?
39
Law = A natural phenomenon that has been proven to occur invariably whenever certain conditions are met.
40
GRAPHING
41
= a visual display of information or data Graph?
42
Line Graph Bar Graph Circle/Pie Graph
43
Independent Variable “X-axis” Horizontal Axis = “Y-axis” Vertical Axis = Dependent Variable ???
44
Which factory had the least amount of defective Cars? How many did this factory have? B 17 per 1000 cars
45
Between what 2 point of mileage does a car’s value decrease the most? How much value does a car’s value depreciate over this period? 20,000- 40,000 $4,000

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit Example To convert 90 o C F F = (1.8 X 90) + 32 F = 162 + 32 F = 194 90 o C = 194 o F F = (1.8 x C) + 32 To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius Example To convert 82 o F C C = (F - 32) / 1.8 C = (82 - 32) / 1.8 C = 50 / 1.8 C = 27.8 82 o F = 27.8 o C
