Scientific Method and Potential and Kinetic Energy

Review Day 1

Remember the Scientific Method is a process.

1. Observation/Question
2. Research
3. Hypothesis - Predict the outcome (educated guess)
4. Expreiment (Develop a Procedure)
5. Collect Data
6. Analyze Data
7. Conclusion

Variables in Scientific Experiments

Controlled Variable - elements of a experiment that stay the same
Independent Variable - the one variable that changes for an experiment
Depentent variable - a measurable variable that will change based on the independent variable
ONLY ONE VARIABLE SHOULD CHANGE IN ANY WELL DESIGNED EXPERIMENT!

Question: How does the weight of paper change how far a paper airplane flies?

Independent variable - paper weight
Dependent variable - distance the airplane flies
controlled variables - airplane design, type of throw, where thrown, wind...

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

What step does every scientific experiment begin with?

hypothesis

question/problem

procedures

conclusion

Multiple Choice

The name of the information that you get from your experiment (you organize it into tables).

observations

conclusion

data

variables

hypothesis

Multiple Choice

This is the group that is affected by the variable or the group that is changed.

Control Group

Experimental Group

Changed Group

Cool Group

Multiple Choice

This is the group that we will compare our experimental group to. This group stays "normal."

Control Group

Experimental Group

Normal Group

Weird Group

Multiple Choice

This step of the scientific method is an educated guess or a prediction.

Hypothesis

Research

Observation

Conclusion

Multiple Choice

During this step of the scientific method, a scientist would gather background information.

Hypothesis

Collect Information

Observation

Experiment

Multiple Choice

Will a construction paper air plane fly faster than an airplane made from notebook paper? Choose the best hypothesis.

If I make a paper airplane from notebook paper, then it will fly faster than construction paper.

Yes.

No.

I think the construction paper air plane will fly faster.

Multiple Choice

What is the first step in the scientific method?

Data

Conclusion

No Horse Play

Observe a problem

Multiple Choice

Testing a hypothesis often involves a(n):
