The Promoter – Do NowWhat is an observation? What is an
inference?
What are the steps of the scientific method?

The Scientific MethodAugust 29th, 2012
Happy Birthday to you, Kyle!

Scientific Method Steps1. Ask a question2. Do background research3. Construct a hypothesis4. Test your hypothesis Experiment5. Analyze your data6. Draw a conclusion!

Review!Independent Variable – the variable that is
manipulated or changed. The variable that is NOT affected by the other
Dependent variable –the variable whose value depends on another. The value that is measured in an experiment

Identify the variablesThe length of your hair and the days since
your last hair cut

Identify the variablesTime spent studying for a biology test and
your test score

The more you study for a test, the higher your test score
Independent variable on which axis?
Dependent variable on which axis?

X axis?
Y axis?

Experimental & Control GroupExperimental Group - Used to compare with
the control group, and vice versa. The experimental group is the group that we apply the independent variable to!
Control group – group used as the normal comparison in an experiment. Identical to the experimental group in characteristics, size, gender, age, etc.

Example 1Ms. Kuipers plants roses in 3 different pots.
She wants to know which fertilizer is the best. The plant on the left gets fertilizer A. The plant on the right gets fertilizer B. The roses in the middle get plain soil.
Experimental group?
Control group?

Example 2Trey Songz is testing which of gasoline is going to
make his tour bus move the fastest between cities. He will use the same tour bus and measure the miles that a tank of diesel gas, premium gas, and regular gas.

The question this lab is answering –
Independent variable -
Dependent variable –
Is there a control group?
![Page 14: The Promoter – Do Now](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681331e550346895d99ebbd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
All together! Example 4 A group of high school students were given a short course
in speed-reading. The instructor was curious if a monetary incentive would influence performance on a reading test taken at the end of the course. Half the students were offered $5 for obtaining a certain level of performance on the test, the other half were not offered money.
Independent variable: Dependent variable: Experimental group: Control group:
![Page 15: The Promoter – Do Now](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/5681331e550346895d99ebbd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Example 5A social psychologist thinks that people are more likely to
conform to a large crowd than to a single person. To test this hypothesis, the social psychologist had either one person or five persons stand on a busy walking path on campus and look up. The psychologist stood nearby and counted the number of people passing by who also looked up.
Independent variable: Dependent variable: Experimental group: Control group:

How do these relate to the hypothesis?If…then…because
If I implement the INDEPENDENT VARIABLE then it will cause __________ to happen to the DEPENDENT VARIABLE because of the background research I conducted!
