Steps of the scientific method
Observe: the environmentQuestion: Recognize there is a problem
and state it in question formHypothesis- take an educated guess as to
the answerPredict what we will see if we are right or
wrongTest the predictionsDraw a conclusion

Observe
X-mas trees, how do we keep them alive longer?

Question
I wonder if that will work for simple plants too, like a bean plant
![Page 6: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hypothesize
I think it will help it grow faster

Predict
If it grows faster, it will be taller than the control , within the next 2 weeks

Test/Experiment
Get beansGet cupsLabel them:Give spriteWatch and measure growth- every other
day

Draw Conclusion
Either it did grow faster or it did not, or still grew at the same rate.Which means……

What makes a hypothesis valid?
It must be “testable” (able to be tested)Creationism: Not considered a valid
hypothesisEvolution: We evolved from a primate-like
ancestor.

What makes an experiment valid?
Observe: Many reports of cancer in people who live down the valley
![Page 12: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Question: It’s the oldest part of Belleville, and its by the polluted Passaic River
![Page 13: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hypothesis: Maybe the water supply is contaminated by river water
![Page 14: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Predict: If this is true, I will find 10 or more families down the valley, where someone has cancer
![Page 15: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Test: I sent all the families down the valley a survey to fill out and they all sent it back
![Page 16: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conclusion: 10 out of 500 families there have people in the home suffering from Cancer, so our hypothesis is right

What’s wrong with this experiment?
Experimental vs. ControlControl: other areas of BellevilleVariables?Type of Water, food, radon, age-
old/young…. You have to keep everything the same
and test 1 thing at a time
![Page 18: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
There are 2 types of variables
Independent variable:Independent variable: (manipulated variable) stands alone
Dependent variable:Dependent variable: (responding variable) responds/ follows/ is expected to follow the independent variable
In the Sprite vs. water…what are we adding/controlling….
What do we expect to change because of that?....
![Page 19: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why do we need a control?Why do we need a control?
It validates the experiment…It establishes what is normal, or what
would have happened anyway….For comparison…
![Page 20: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
When testing medication, what is the control?
Placebo Hair re-growth pill Results: 10 men (5 got placebo and 5 got the
pill) What if 4 pill and 0 placebo re-grew hair, does it
work? What about if… 4 pill and 2 placebo re-grew hair What about if 2 placebo and 2 pill re-grew hair?
![Page 21: Scientific Method. Steps of the scientific method Observe: the environment Question: Recognize there is a problem and state it in question form Hypothesis-](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f1f5503460f94c374e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For our Sprite experiment…
How many variables should we have?
How many variables should stay the same? List them
What is the independent or manipulated variable?
What is the dependent or responding variable?

After conclusion…..Then you PUBLISH your findings in a
professional journal, in order to share your work with other scientists.
They are allowed to try to recreate your experiment… if they can’t come to the same conclusion you did, you will be considered a LIAR!!!!!
