NB Set-Up 8/19 Scientific Method as an Ongoing Process Scientific Process 8 9
NBpg. 8 Silde 2 of 6
NBpg. 9 Slide 3 of 6 Scientific Process EQ: Why is the scientific method a process? Scientific Process/Method (7 steps) 1. Make an observation 2. Create a question based on the observation 3. Then form an testable explanation to the question, known as a hypothesis, using If , Then , because 4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. Determine variables, control, constants, and write procedures
Slide 4 of 6 Any scientific experiment or plan must have the ability to be duplicated for other scientist to replicate and get the same results. 5. Test the hypothesis through experimentation Record qualitative and quantitative data Create a Graph or a visual model 6. Make a conclusion about findings Does your evidence support or reject your hypothesis. Analyze data and explain with reasoning 7. Communicate the conclusion with other scientists.
Slide 6 of 6 When many lines of research support a particular hypothesis, the hypothesis becomes a scientific theory. READ: Todays scientists are connected to scientists of the past because new scientific ideas are built upon the foundations of earlier work. Summary (4+ complete sentences answering the EQ) Some scientific ideas are very old but still applicable today.
