E.S Scientific Method

Science Skill: observe: Use your senses(hear, smell, taste, feel, see) to gather information

What are some thing that help to keep things warm?

Ask a question that you want answered

What material is best for keeping heat in water?

A possible answer to your questions

Hypothesis will be tested in an experiment.

If I wrap the jar in fake fur, then the water will stay warm the longest because fake fur will keep heat in?

Science Skill: Predict (take the information they gathered during your observations to guess what might happen

Test your hypothesis to see if you are wrong or right.

Variable: things in the experiment that can change

In an experiment we only change one variable.

Same: amount of water and container size and shape

Different: material around container or jar

Make a plan to test your hypothesis

Make sure to do the same experiment many times

Gather everything you need to do the experiment

You collect data as you do your experiment

Data can be notes, pictures, charts or graphs

Look at the data (numbers, words and drawings) you gathered and think about what it means. 

Another word for analyze is interpret

Tell what you learned during your experiment 

Does your data match your hypothesis?

Share or communicate what you learned with other people.

Fake fur kept the water warm longest because fake fur kept the heat in. My data supported my hypothesis.
