4. Lab Safety Toxic: Corrosive: Dilute: Flammable: Waft: Biohazard:
Poisonous, harmful
Acid, burns the skin
lower the concentration, (acidwater)
catches on fire easily
safely smell, protect your respiratory system
caution bodily fluids (blood, urine, bacteria, fungi)

10. Scientific Method Problem: Observation : Inference: Hypothesis:
question you want to solve
Problem:
Observation :
Inference:
Hypothesis:
Independent variable
Dependent variable:
Control group:
Experimental group:
Constant:
see, smell, taste, hear, feel
gathered from clues
try to answer or solve the question
(If _______, then ________)
: added, tested or changed in an experiment (x-axis)
what happened from the change, has to measurable, (y-axis)
group or set up that was left alone
groups tested (with independent variable)
what was the same in all groups

11. TIM & MOBY’s “Scientific Method”
Problem: Why is Moby’s plant dying even though it is being watered every day?
Observations:The leaves are brown and falling off, and the soil is wet and squishy
Inference: Maybe Moby is watering his plant too much.
Hypothesis: Fig trees grow best when watered only once a week.
Independent variable: Amount of water
Dependent variable: The plants growth
Control group: A
Experimental groups: B,C,D
Constants: same kind of plant, same pot,
same soil, and same amount of sunlight
Conclusion: Fig trees grow best when watered only once a week

Valid Conclusion:
what you think is going to happen
gathered from clues
pattern
shows % or parts of a whole
shows relation between independent and dependent variables
used to compare groups or categories
restate results with data or evidence to support it
