5. List and give a brief explanation of the steps of the scientific method. The

We used all the steps of the scientific method. For instance, in Question, we asked ourselves “How do we successfully separate a mixture of iron filings, poppy seeds, sand, and salt. We researched the topic at home to write our hypothesis. The information that we found helped us write our hypothesis. Next, we wrote down our procedure based on the information that we found.

There are four main characteristics of the scientific method: observation/measurements, make an assumption, test the assumption, and revise the assumption. The first stage we make an observations. For instance, I notice that my peppers in my garden are not growing well. I am going to assume this is because I did not water that area well enough. So I am now going to test my assumption. This is done by watering the peppers in my garden more frequently. Lastly, I am going to see if my assumption was correct. If my peppers only needed more water, they will begin to grow more rapidly. It is also possible that my assumption was wrong, and that my peppers were getting enough water; however, there could be something wrong with the soil, temperature, etc. These are the four main characteristics of the scientific method; it is important to note that our assumptions sometimes be wrong, thus it is always important that we test our assumptions to make sure we are correct.

The scientific method is a process that is used to answer questions and solve problems. Although there are different variations of the scientific method, it contains 5 basic steps. (1) Recognize a question or an unexplained occurrence in the natural world. Once this question has been developed examine scientific literature to determine what is already known about the subject matter. (2) Develop a hypothesis. A hypothesis is

The scientific method is used during experiments to find a conclusion and or reason as to why an event or something happens.

The scientific method is a process used to prove or disprove a hypothesis through experimentation and analysis. The steps necessary include Asking a question and/or observation, Forming a hypothesis, Test the hypothesis, Analyze the results, Draw a conclusion, and Publish the findings.

Using your textbook as a reference, write down the steps of the scientific method in the correct order.

The lesson that is perhaps the most important one we learned this week is the scientific method. The scientific method is not only used in particularly every subsection in science, but allows psychologists to test different ideas about behavior. Pastorino and Doyle-Portillo in the General Psychology textbook describes the scientific method as “ a set of rules for gathering and analyzing information that enables you to test an idea or hypothesis”. (8) All scientists adhere to these standard set of rules in order to be able to better analyze the data and share the results throughout the scientific community. The scientific method consists of a few distinct parts: allow for observation, make a prediction, form a hypothesis, choose a research method/ design an

A) scientific process: The scientific process, also known as the scientific method is an organized way to help answer a question or to a hypothesis. The method includes six steps; make a conclusion, form a question, construct a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, analyze the data, and finally draw a conclusion, these steps can be modified once the process has been run through at least once for the same experiment.

SCIENTIFIC PROCESS- the scientific process is a way to make sure that your experiment can give a good answer to your question. We use observations, hypotheses, predictions, experimentation, and conclusions.

One of my activities in the introduction part of my lesson involved a class brainstorm of observable properties plus characteristic features of the three states of matter. This activity is student-centred as it requires the students to lead the discussion in order to brainstorm a scientific conversation to establish prior learning and knowledge. Thus, echoes the general capability of personal and social capability of the students being self-aware and recognising themselves as active learners and developing their reflective

Ceri Dean discusses many structures tasks in chapter 9 that can be applied to the classroom. In science, we use several of these throughout the school year. These structured task include problem solving and experimental investigation. The deduction method is typically used and explained as the scientific method. According to Dean deduction method gets better results than the induction method (Dean,2012, p.137). The scientific method in my class is dissected into parts and taught by example and practice. I want my students to be able to take any experimental investigation and identify the parts of the scientific method. By the time students get to 11th and 12th grade they should be able to identify and apply the parts of the scientific

In the movie “Spare Parts” many things involving scientific method happened . . There are eight steps in scientific method . One and two are identifying problems and researching . Three and four are forming a hypothesis and planning experiments . There is also five and six which are performing the experiment and analyzing the data . Seven and eight are forming a conclusion and communicating results . In the next four paragraphs you will be learning what these are and what they do with scientific method .

One known research method is the Scientific Method which is a uniform way of creating observations, assembly data, establishing concepts, testing predictions, and understanding outcomes. These observations are made in order to observe and define behaviors. The first step to take in using a scientific method is to develop an issue or question. Next step is to perform a research and observation on the issue or question that was developed. Then a hypothesis needs to be formulated after these steps have been made.

Science is the knowledge gained by a systematic study, knowledge which then becomes facts or principles. In the systematic study; the first step is observation, the second step hypothesis, the third step experimentation to test the hypothesis, and lastly the conclusion whether or not the hypothesis holds true. These steps have been ingrained into every student of science, as the basic pathway to scientific discovery. This pathway holds not decision as to good or evil intention of the experiment. Though, there are always repercussions of scientific experiments. They range from the most simplistic realizations of the difference between acid and water to the principle that Earth is not the center of
