Why is it important to know the metric system?

Vocab- decimals

Connections- like if you are in math you might use the metric system

Because every single country uses it

We use the metric system every day almost

Claim- Because it has to do with numbers

How can data collection be more accurate?

Connections- You need a recipe for what you want to cook that is your data

Observations will also be used throughout the scientific method process to gather information.

Can lead into a question and experiment

Uses as many of the senses as possible

A good observation:

Make an observation

Claim- Make an observation

Resources- SM slideshow 5

What happens when an experiment doesn’t lead to a hypothesis being supported?

Subtopic

Control

Constant

Dependent

Independent

Vocab-

Connections- How you braid hair

3. Give it to someone else to try it

2. Repeat it over and over

1. Keep trying

Claim- Just try and try again until you get it

Resources- SM slideshow page 9,10,11

What makes a good question?

Vocab- Observation

Connections- walking, running, jumping, phone, cards, telephones

4. A good scientific question, when answered, leads to other good questions. For example: “What is the flu” does not lead to as many questions as “How does the flu attack the human immune system?

3. A good scientific question builds on what you already know. For example: “Will fertilizer make grass grow greener?” is not as good as “What types of fertilizer will make grass grow greener?”

2. A good scientific question can be tested by some experiment of measurement that you can do. For example: “Where does the Sun come from? is not as good as “How will human skin react to solar radiation where one participant is covered in SPF 30 sunscreen lotion and the other participant is not covered in sunscreen lotion.

1. A good scientific question is one that can have an answer and be tested. For example: “Why is that a star?” is not as good as “What are stars made of?”

Evidence

You have to ask the question
