A good scientific question is .Put a checkmark beside the good question:Why is there air?What is the air made of?2. A good scientific question can be tested by someor that you can do.Put a checkmark beside the good question:Where did the Universe come from? How fast does a football fly through the air when I throw it?3. A good scientific question builds on _______________________Put a checkmark beside the good question:What chemicals are needed to make radishes grow? What is the source of genetic mutations in drosophila melanogaster?4. A good scientific question, when answered, Put a checkmark beside the good question:What is the color of the sky?What events or conditions cause the sky to be blue (or orange or brown)?5. A good question is and Put a checkmark beside the good question:Why do leaves turn brown? Does the amount of water or sun a plant receives affect the colour of the leaves?"6. A good question is ____________ to the topic that is being researched.If you wanted to learn about gravity, which of the following would be a good question?What materials are best at keeping astronauts’ warm in space?How do astronauts bodies change when they are in a zero gravity environment?7. A good question could have ______________________ it is not a simple “yes or no” answer.Put a checkmark beside the good question:Do plants grow in the dark?What lighting conditions are best for plants to grow?8. A good question is one that ____________________________Put a checkmark beside the good question: How is a planet’s motion influenced by objects around it?When is my birthday?9.Which of the following do you think are GOOD QUESTIONS?Why do dogs bark?How are students’ grades affected by the amount of television watched?What temperatures cause bacteria to grow the fastest?What chemicals will prevent cut apples from turning brown? Why are oceans salty?Is the bounciness of a basketball related to the temperature of the ball?The Scientific MethodWhat is A PURPOSE?When conducting a scientific inquiry/investigation a purpose is a statement explaining the reason why a scientific inquiry/investigation is taking place. A purpose is typically:Short – One or two sentences long.Developed from the original question. Start with “To determine…”Example:Question: How are students’ grades affected by the amount of television watched?Purpose: To determine how students’ grades are affected by the amount of television watched.Re-write the following questions as purposes:Question:What materials are best at keeping astronauts warm in space?Purpose: Question:What temperatures cause bacteria to grow the fastest?Purpose: Question:How fast does a football fly through the air when I throw it?Purpose: The Scientific MethodWhat is A HYPOTHESIS?A hypothesis is a possible explanation or a prediction for an observed cause-effect relationship. A hypothesis is developed from the original question in the inquiry/investigation and it is based on prior knowledge. Often it is worded “If…then…because” OR “as…then…because”. The “IF” part of the statement is the cause variable (independent variable), the “THEN” part of the statement is the effect variable (dependent variable), and the “BECAUSE” part of the statement is the explanation.Example #1 Question:How does temperature (heat energy) affect the rate at which water boils?Hypothesis:If more heat energy is added to the water, then the water will come to a boil faster because the water particles will be moving faster. Example #2 Question:How does the amount of time a student spends studying affect their grades?Hypothesis:As a student studies more, then their marks will improve because they have a better understanding of the material. Suggest a hypothesis for each of the following problems:1. Why do people who smoke put more salt on their food? ___________________________2. How does the amount of sunlight affect the growth of a plant?___________________________3. Why does water evaporate faster when its surface area is increased? ____________________________The Scientific MethodWhat are VARIABLES?Scientists use experiments to search for the cause and effect relationships in nature. In other words, they design an experiment so that changes to one item cause something else to vary in a predictable way.These changing quantities are called _________________.490220030480Independent Variable:__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Dependent Variable:__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Controlled Variables____________________________________________________________________________In a good experiment, the scientist must be able to measure the values for each variable.Examples of Variables:QuestionIndependent Variable (manipulated variable)Dependent Variable (responding variable)Controlled Variables (what is kept the same)How much water flows through a faucet at different openings?Water faucet openings (closed, half open, fully open)Amount of water flowing measured in liters per minutesame faucetamount of water pressureDoes heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar?Does an electric motor turn faster if you increase the voltage?Identifying Controls and Variables - PracticeTarget: I will be able to: *Identify manipulated (independent), responding (dependent), and controlled variables in a scientific 323850173990investigation. Smither's thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of workers. He creates two groups of 50 workerseachandassignseachgroup thesametask(inthiscase,they're supposed tostapleasetof papers).GroupA is giventhespecialjuicetodrinkwhilethey work. Group B is not given the special juice. After an hour, Smither's counts how many stacks of papers each group ha smade. Group A made1,587 stacks,GroupBmade2,113 ic or problem you wish to investigate: Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of workers.Specific Question: Will the special juice that Smithers has increase the productivity of workers?What is the manipulated (independent) variable for this problem? What is the responding (dependent) variable for this problem? ________List at least three (3) variables that should be controlled. 43815032385Homer notices that his shower is covered in a strange green slime. His friend Barney tells him that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Homer decides to check this out by spraying half of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other half of the shower with water.After3 days of"treatment"thereisnochangeintheappearanceof the green slimeon eithersideof ic or problem you wish to investigate: Homers shower is covered in a strange green slime.Specific Question: Will coconut juice remove the strange green slime that is covering Homer’s shower? What is the manipulated (independent) variable for this problem? What is the responding (dependent) variable for this problem? ________List at least three (3) variables that should be controlled. The Scientific MethodWhat is a PROCEDURE?Scientists use a procedure to describe how they conducted their experiment. It is a detailed, step-by-step description of everything that is done during an experiment. Plan first. An example is to use the comic strip method for planning.Example:Boil waterPut water in cup with tea bagLet tea bag sit in the waterWhen conducting your experiment, make a note of any changes, additions and corrections.Procedure:Boil 350 mL of water in a kettle________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Put water in a cup with one tea bag ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Let the teabag sit in the water for 5 minutes before drinking________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After the experiment, write your procedure:As it was actually done, with specific details (include amounts of materials and types of equipment)In the past-tenseNo personal pronouns (I, we, our, he, she, etc.)Written in numbered stepsWritten Procedure:. Rewrite the following instructions correctly:I lit the Bunsen burner using the striker.___________________________________________________________________You should measure out 20mL of water.___________________________________________________________________Rinse the test tube before starting.__________________________________________________________________I am going to add 5ml of hydrochloric acid to the beaker.__________________________________________________________________The Scientific MethodMaking OBSERVATIONS1.Are you a good observer? Can you spot 6 differences? 2.Quantitative vs. Qualitative ObservationsQuantitative observations are those which contain a measurement of some kind. This means that the observation will also have a NUMBER associated with it. For example, John has a mass of 70 kg is a quantitative observation. The volume of the liquid was 250 mL is another example.On the other hand, Qualitative observations DO NOT contain any numbers and are collected by your SENSES. For example, Susan has red hair, is a qualitative observation. Bob is tall, is another qualitative observation. Indicate whether each of the following is a quantitative or qualitative observation:a.The concert was very loud.b.The water was cold. c. The reaction took 48 seconds to occur.d. The grass was green.e. The volume of the object was 4.9L.f. The length of the trop was 675km.g. The sandpaper was rough.h. The sugar and sulfuric acid turned black, then grew to a height of 23cm. cm20cm. The Scientific MethodRecording RESULTS and OBSERVATIONSObservations (both quantitative and qualitative) are best recorded in table. Examine the observation table below. What makes this a good (minimum 3) observation table?Question: How does the amount of water consumed in a day affect the number of times you urinate?EXAMPLE:Table 1: Effect of the amount of water consumed on the number of times you urinateDayAmount of water (mL)Number of times urinated(/day)12345Read the question below and design your own observation (data) table.Question: How does the temperature of the water affect the rate at which salt dissolves?Writing ObservationsOBSERVATIONS: The answers to any questions that appear in the instructions or procedures.How to Write Observations: Answer any questions in full sentences! The goal is to write so that a stranger to the course could read your answers and understand what you are doing.Briefly explain what happened for you to make your observations. Consider the following instruction question:Instruction:Gently heat the white powder for two minutes. What happened to the glucose?Poor answer:The glucose burned.Good answer:When heated gently, the glucose quickly melted to a syrup. Further heating caused the glucose to bubble and burn to a black crust.In the second example, not only was there a more complete description, but the scene was set. It was explained that the glucose was heated gently, inferring that this heating process caused the observed change. A number of words should not be used in the observations: Do not use it, they, or them at the beginning of sentences without previously defining what it, they or them is. Example: Instead of saying “it was straight” say: “ the rubber tubing was straight.”The answers should be written in the past tense. Example: Instead of writing “you heat the beaker.” A better answer would be “ The beaker was heated.”YES and NO at the beginning of full sentence answers are not necessary. If you are asked a question that requires a yes or no response – you must also explain your reason in detail. Practice: Write a poor observation and a good observation for the picture.Poor:___________________________________________________________________________________1391348605629Good:___________________________________________________________________________________ ................
