Scientific Method 1 Scientific Method 2 Match the vocabulary words to the correct definitions. Hypothesis A testable prediction Control Group that receives the "normal" conditions Independent/ Manipulated Variable The variable that the scientist changes Dependent Variable The variable that is measured Constant A condition during the experiment that stays the same for all groups being tested Observation Using your five senses to determine information Inference Drawing a conclusion using the evidence at hand 1) Make a prediction2) Ask a question.3) Make a conclusion4) Gather data.Which of the following puts the steps of a scientific experiment in the correct order? 2,3,1,4 2,1,4,3 2,1,3,4 4,2,3,1 What is the purpose of an experiment? To communicate data To test a hypothesis To prove a scientific law None of these Global Warming Experiment Iker is worried about global warming. He believes that much of the problem is caused by the intense heat that comes from the surfaces of streets and the roofs of buildings. Iker convinces his teacher to do an experiment. With the help of other students, Iker builds a rooftop garden to cover one half of his school building. For one semester, Iker records the air temperature on the half of the building with the rooftop garden and the half of the building without the garden. He finds that the average temperature near the rooftop garden is 23°C. The average temperature away from the garden is 29°C. What is the manipulated variable for the Global Warming Experiment? Air Temperature Location Global Warming Time of Day What is the dependent variable for the Global Warming Experiment? Air Temperature Location Global Warming Time of Day What is a constant in order for the Global Warming Experiment to be valid? Air Temperature Location Global Warming Time of Day According to the data shown in the graph, the hypothesis is only correct for latitudes- up to 40 degrees from the equator from the poles to 40 degrees from the equator between 20 degrees and 60 degrees from the equator farthest from the equator There is a greater average humidity in the north south The largest number of male sea turtles will develop at 28∘ degreesC. Female sea turtles develop at higher temperatures. Most of the sea turtle eggs hatched if incubated at 26∘ degreesC. The sex of sea turtle babies depends on the incubation temperature.
