The things that make you go hmmm????Picture it. Everyday you go for a walk around the lake. There are so many animals and plants. You often hear frogs croaking and hopping along the path. You and your family have been going there for years.
Then suddenly you notice something unusual
![Page 5: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A day at the lake!!
• Here is what you see!!

What is scientific inquiry?
• You see something happen, you ask why?• You want to make something happen, you
ask how?• Science is a tool for answering why and
how.
![Page 8: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Scientific Method involves a series of steps that
are used to investigate a
natural occurrence.

Steps of the Scientific Method
1. Problem/Question: Develop a question or problem that can
be solved through experimentation.
![Page 11: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Steps of the Scientific Method
2. Observation/Research: Make observations and research
your topic of interest.

Observations• Any information collected with the senses.
• Quantitative – measureable or countable» 3 meters long
• Qualitative – describable, not measureable » red flowers
![Page 13: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Do you remember the next step?
![Page 14: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Topic: Scientific Inquiry (Hypotheses)
• EQ: What are the steps of scientific inquiry? (ISN 21)
![Page 15: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Steps of the Scientific Method
3. Formulate a Hypothesis: Predict a possible answer to
the problem or question.: If _______, then _____
statements
![Page 16: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example of a Hypothesis
1. If I leave home 10 minutes early, then I will get to school on time.
2. If I study for 2 hours per week, then I will do better in science class.
![Page 17: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is a hypothesis?
• A tentative explanation that can be tested and is based on observation or scientific knowledge
• Used to investigate a scientific question
![Page 18: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hypotheses
• If your hypothesis is not proven correct then you simply have answered your question. The next step is to begin the process again.
![Page 19: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hypotheses
• As new observations are collected original thoughts can change. Science is constantly changing.
![Page 20: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Summarizing Activity
• A. On (ISN pg 20) copy this table exactly as you see it on the next screen
![Page 21: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Steps of the Scientific Method
4. Experiment: Develop and follow a procedure.
Include a detailed materials list.The outcome must be
measurable (quantifiable).
![Page 22: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Not so fast!!• Before you begin the experiment, there are
certain things we have to look for• These are called
• There are two types of variables• A. Test/Independent variable-the thing you
will change• B. Outcome/Dependent variable:-what you
observed happened.• C. Controls- the group you will compare to
variables
![Page 23: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Test/Independent variables are…
What is being testedWhat is being changedThe ‘cause’ of a change
![Page 24: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Outcome/ Dependent variables are…
What is observedWhat is measured The ‘effect’ caused by the independent variable
![Page 25: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Steps of the Scientific Method
5. Collect and Analyze Results: Modify the procedure if
needed.Confirm the results by retesting.
Include tables, graphs, and photographs.
![Page 26: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Steps of the Scientific Method6. Conclusion: Include a statement that accepts or
rejects the hypothesis.Make recommendations for
further study and possible improvements to the
procedure.
![Page 27: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Steps of the Scientific Method
7. Communicate the Results: Be prepared to present the project
to an audience.Expect questions from the
audience.
![Page 28: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Observation/ResearchJohn researches the areas of baking and
fermentation and tries to come up with a way
to test his question.He keeps all of his information on this topic in a journal.
![Page 29: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Problem/Question
John wonders if the amount of sugar used in the recipe will affect the size of the bread
loaf?
![Page 30: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Problem/Question
John watches his grandmother bake bread. He ask his grandmother what
makes the bread rise.She explains that yeast
releases a gas as it feeds on sugar.
![Page 31: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Formulate a Hypothesis
After talking with his teacher and
conducting further research, he comes
up with a hypothesis.“If more sugar is added,
then the bread will rise higher.”
![Page 32: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Experiment
His teacher helps him come up with a
procedure and list of needed materials.
She discusses with John how to
determine the control group.
![Page 33: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ExperimentJohn writes out his
procedure for his experiment along with a materials list in his
journal. He has both of these checked by his
teacher where she checks for any safety
concerns.
![Page 34: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Experiment
Once again, John gathers his materials and carries out his
experiment..
![Page 35: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Collect and Analyze ResultsJohn comes up with
a table he can use to record his data.John gets all his materials together and carries out his
experiment.
![Page 36: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Collect and Analyze ResultsJohn examines his data and notices that
his control worked the best in this
experiment, but not significantly better
than 100g. of sugar.
![Page 37: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

ConclusionJohn rejects his hypothesis, but
decides to re-test using sugar
amounts between 50g. and 100g.
![Page 39: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
ConclusionJohn finds that 70g.
of sugar produces the largest loaf.
His hypothesis is accepted.

Application of the Scientific Method• Problem:
• You recently purchased a new plant from your hardware store. You water the plant everyday according to the directions, and notice the plant is beginning to wilt.
• Apply the steps of the scientific method to this situation. Be prepared to share with the class
![Page 44: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Let’s put our knowledge of the Scientific Method to a realistic
example that includes some of the terms you’ll be needing to use and
understand.
![Page 45: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Caution!Be careful how you use effect and
affect.Effect is usually a noun and affect, a
verb.“ The effect of sugar amounts on the
rising of bread.”“How does sugar affect the rising of
bread?”
![Page 46: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
John talks with his teacher and she gives him a Experimental Design Diagram to help him set up his
investigation.
![Page 47: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
![Page 48: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Hypothesis The hypothesis is an educated
guess about the relationship between the independent and
dependent variables.Note: These variables will be defined in the next few slides.
![Page 49: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Do you know the difference between the independent and dependent variables?
![Page 50: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Independent Variable The independent, or test variable, is a factor that’s intentionally varied by the
experimenter.John is going to use 25g., 50g.,
100g., 250g., 500g. of sugar in his experiment.
![Page 51: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Dependent Variable The dependent, or outcome variable, is the factor that may change as a result of changes
made in the independent variable.
In this case, it would be the size of the loaf of bread.
![Page 52: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Control Group In a scientific experiment, the control is the group that serves as the standard of comparison.
The control group may be a “no treatment" or an “experimenter
selected” group.
![Page 53: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Control Group The control group is exposed to
the same conditions as the experimental group, except for
the variable being tested.All experiments should have a
control group.
![Page 54: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Control Group Because his grandmother always used 50g. of sugar in
her recipe, John is going to use that amount in his control
group.
![Page 55: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Constants
John’s teacher reminds him to keep all other factors the same so that any observed
changes in the bread can be attributed to the variation in the amount of sugar.
![Page 56: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Constants
The constants in an experiment are all the
factors that the experimenter attempts
to keep the same.
![Page 57: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Can you think of some constants for this
experiment?
![Page 58: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
ConstantsThey might include:
Other ingredients to the bread recipe, oven used,
rise time, brand of ingredients, cooking time,
type of pan used, air temperature and humidity
where the bread was rising, oven temperature,
age of the yeast…
![Page 59: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Trials
Trials refer to replicate groups that are exposed to the same conditions
in an experiment.John is going to test each
sugar variable 3 times.
![Page 60: Agenda](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816471550346895dd6580e/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Can you tell which group did the best?
