2. Research question. Observations make us ask testable questions about what we experience.

Which senses are missing?

Testable Questions have

• A manipulated variable

(Independent variable)

• A responding variable

(Dependent variable)

Testable Question Formats

3. Hypothesis

• A hypothesis is a possible explanation that is based on observation and seeks to answer the question.

• Write it as an “If…(I do this) then…(this is what I think will happen)” statement.

• Must include both the independent and dependent variables.

3. Hypothesis

Ex: “If the gene for glowing is inserted into a plant, then the plant will produce the glowing trait.”

Create Hypotheses for the following

• Does changing the type of liquid affect how quickly a nail will corrode (rust)?

• Does the brand of detergent affect how thoroughly it gets a grass stain out?

• How does the type of light affect how quickly a plant will grow?

• Does surface temperature of a glass affect fingerprints?

• Do artificial sugars attract ants?

4. Experiment

Definition = A controlled test of a hypothesis is called an experiment.

• A valid experiment needs:

1. Independent variable

2. Dependent variable

3. Control group

4. Easy to follow Procedure

Independent Variable

• What happens when a fire fly gene (the independent variable) is added to tobacco plant genes?

Controlled Experiment

• One test group (the control group) is not exposed to the tested effect (gene for glowing).

• One test group (independent variable) is exposed to the tested effect (gene for glowing).

The Control Group

• Keep an identical control group for comparison.

• This plant did not receive the fire fly gene.

• It’s a control.

5. ResultsThe observations or measurements in the

experiment depend on the independent variable and are called the dependent variable.

The dependent variable here is whether the resulting plants will glow

or not. It depends on the gene (independentvariable).

5. Results

• The dependent variable measured during the experiment becomes data.

• Data is evidence to support the hypothesis. Data must be observable or measurable in someway.

• Data cannot be an opinion or emotion.

Data

• Look at data for patterns and trends.

• Data is put into graphs and charts to make patterns more visible.

• Only data is used to support your conclusions!

First Five 9/161. What are the three

things that must be included in a conclusion?

6. Conclusions

• Conclusions are only valid if data supports them.

• Reject the hypothesis if the data does not support the hypothesis.

• Data supports or not; it does NOT prove anything.

Conclusions cont’...

• Error Analysis is part of an experiment.

• List only KNOWN errors in the measurements.

• DO NOT list your guesses (e.g. “We might have....).
