(Tools and Procedures

Notes SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures

Tools and Procedures in Science The procedures used in science are called the scientific method

Scientific Method

(In Flow Chart Format)

These procedures involve thoroughly examining events and items in nature, finding patterns, and drawing logical conclusions based on verifiable evidence

Notes

Step 1: Make ObservationsStep 2: Ask A QuestionStep 3: Form A HypothesisStep 4: Test The Hypothesis By doing experimentsStep 5: Analyze The ResultsStep 6: Draw ConclusionsStep 7: Communicate results

Scientific Method

(In List Format)

A key procedure is when test your hypothesis by doing detailed and thorough experiments (step 4 shown above)

SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures

Tools and Procedures in Science The procedures used in science are called the scientific method

Experiments In an experiment you measure a quantities and/or qualities In an experiment you should conduct multiple trials Experiments should include independent variables, dependent

variables, constants, and controls.

Example: Scientists could be testing a new vaccine for the flu virus to

determine how effective it is Scientists could be measuring how air pollution damages

plants and animals Scientists could be measuring the output of solar flares to

determine how they might damage our communication satellites

Notes

SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures

In an experiment……you should only test for ONE key thing at a timeThis is called the…

Notes SPI 0807.Inq.1 (Variables and Controls) Experiments

…after you introduce the independent variable, you observe what happens. This response/result is called the…

Items or events that are repeated exactly the same way each time you duplicate an experiment are called…

NOTE: You should also conduct a control experiment where you either eliminate out the independent variable or use a neutral independent variable (called a placebo)

In an experiment… …you measure things with the metric system using scientific

tools such as…

Notes

Experiments

…a triple beam balance …a metric ruler or meter stick

…a graduated cylinder

…a spring scale -measures force (weight)

-measures volume

-measures length

-measures mass

SPI 0807.Inq.2 (Tools and Procedures

…a metric thermometer-measures temperature …a stop watch-measures time

-measures acidity and basicity …a pH indicator
