• detailed

  • enough steps so another person can complete your experiment without you coaching them

• specific

  • identify and explain exactly how you plan to accomplish key tasks

• repeatable

  • it guides you to be able to duplicate you procedure more THAN once

Measurement methods should be explained

• describe exactly how you plan to make measurements

• identify tools to be used

2. propose a hypothesis.

3. explain a fair test that will investigate your hypothesis.

4. Make a prediction using your hypothesis to predict and answer about your question.

   • if-then statement

Notes on Scientific Experiments

1. POSING SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS

   • SPECIFIC - NOT TOO GENERAL

   • OBJECTIVE - THEY LIKELY HAVE A DEFINITE ANSWER, NOT OPINION BASED

   • TESTABLE - AN EXPERIMENT OR OTHER FORM OF RESEARCH CAN CREATE INFORMATION THAT ANSWERS THEM

2. FORMING A HYPOTHESIS

   • BASED ON OBSERVATIONS THAT IDENTIFY SOMETHING WE DON’T KNOW

   • PROPOSES AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT WE THINK IS HAPPENING

   • A MODEL MAY BE THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE THINK IS HAPPENING.

3. EXPERIMENT: DESIGNING A FAIR TEST

   • IT IS IMPORTANT TO TEST ONE THING AT A TIME

   • “FAIRNESS” MEANS ONE KEY FACTOR WE THING EXPLAINS OUR OBSERVATIONS IS TESTED

   • ALL OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT IT ARE KEPT “FAIR” MEANING THE SAME.

   • THESE “FACTORS” ARE CALLED VARIABLES.

4. MAKING A PREDICTION

   • WHAT IS THE EXPECTED OUTCOME OF YOUR TEST?

   • WHAT WILL YOU MEASURE THAT PROVES/DISPROVES IT?

   • USE JUDGEMENT AND ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION

   • MANY TIMES, PREDICTIONS ARE PARTLY OR MOSTLY INCORRECT

   • THAT’S OK!

5. VARIABLES:

   • INDEPENDENT

     • THE FACTOR YOU ARE TESTING

   • DEPENDENT

     • THE OUTCOME YOUR WILL MEASURE TO TEST YOUR PREDICTION

   • CONTROLLED

     • FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT THE OUTCOME OF THE EXPERIMENT

     • THESE ARE KEPT CONSTANT SO THEY DO NOT.

Lesson:

SLANT: Design of experiments

1. Posing scientific questions

   • specific - not too general

   • objective - they likely have a definite answer, not opinion based

   • testable - an experiment or other form of research can create information that answers them

2. forming a hypothesis

   • based on observations that identify SOMETHING we don’t know

   • proposes an explanation of what we think is happening

   • a model may be the best way to explain what we think is happening.

3. Experiment: Designing a fair test

   • it is important to test one thing at a time

   • “fairness” means one key factor we thing explains our observations is tested

   • all other factors that may affect it are kept “fair” meaning the same.

   • These “factors” are called variables.

4. making a prediction

   • What is the expected outcome of your test?

   • what will you measure that proves/disproves it?

   • use judgement and all available information

   • many times, predictions are partly or mostly incorrect

   • that’s ok!

5. Variables:

   • Independent

     • the factor you are testing

   • Dependent

     • The outcome your will measure to test your prediction

   • Controlled

     • factors that could affect the outcome of the experiment

     • these are kept constant so they do not.
