BEING A SCIENTIST! January (33-8), 2010
1. What question was the scientist who made this graph originally asking?
Today’s Agenda
Catalyst Review Graphs Quiz #1 TOMORROW! Mini-Lesson: Questions and
Hypotheses Exit Question
Today’s Objectives
SWBAT formulate hypotheses from questions.
SWBAT formulate questions from observations.
DESK PROCEDURE!!!!
How do scientists come up with ideas for an experiment? Do ideas just pop into their head
randomly? Yes…Sometimes.
Do people just hand them ideas to test? Yea, occasionally
Do scientists have a method for coming up with experiment ideas? YES!!!!!
What Scientists Do!
Scientists observe the world around them
They ask questions They make hypotheses They test them!
Good Experimental Questions
Key Point #1: A good experimental question asks why something happens.
Must be specific Based on things you see about
the world
PLANET EARTH!
Ask 3 questions about what you
see while you watch!
Good Hypotheses
Key Point #2: A good hypothesis is an educated, testable guess that answers a question.
Educated means there is a reason for it
Use the word “because” Testable means there is a way to
prove it right or wrong
Your Turn!
Make hypotheses for all of your questions
What’s the point?
Scientists want to prove the hypotheses right or wrong
In your groups, choose 2 of the best question/hypotheses and develop a procedure for testing them
Exit Question
1. You observe that students in Ms. Jhaveri’s class get higher grades on their tests than the students in Mr. McKnight’s class. Write a question and testable hypothesis to explain this phenomenon.
