12. What is the purpose of science?
(1 complete sentence)
Name six steps of the scientific method.
(List)
What did you learn today?
(2-3 complete sentences)
16. The scientific method is the only scientific
way accepted to back up a theory or
idea. This is the method on which all
research projects should be based. The
Scientific Method is used by researchers
to support or disprove a theory.
17. The Scientific Method involves 6 steps:
State the Problem
GATHER INFORMATION
Hypothesis
Test Hypothesis
Record and Analyze
Conclusion
19. GATHER INFORMATION
Observation- You observe something
in the material world, using your senses
or machines which are basically
extensions of those senses.
AH—Look at this!
21. TEST THE HYPOTHESIS
Method - You figure out a way to test
whether the hypothesis is correct. The
outcome must be
measurable (quantifiable).
Record and analyze data.
22. RECORD AND ANALYZE
Result- You do the experiment using
the method you came up with and
record the results. You repeat the
experiment to confirm your
results by retesting.
25. Could David had more than two hypothesis? If
so, give one more. (3-4 complete sentences)
Put in order:
◦ Hypothesizing
◦ Conclusion
◦ Experimentation/Test the Hypothesis
◦ Gather information
◦ Record/Analyze
◦ State the Problem
27. Experimental group
◦ The group on which a test is performed
Control group
◦ The group used as a standard for comparison
Constants
◦ Conditions present in the control and experimental
groups that remain the same throughout the
experiment
Variables
◦ Conditions present only in the experimental group
◦ Always make sure there is only one per experiment!

30. Come up with a problem, some information
on it and formulate a Hypothesis.
31. What is the difference between an
experimental group and a control group?
What is the difference between a constant
and variable in an experiment?
32.
33. State the Problem
Gather Information
Formulate
Hypothesis
Test the Hypothesis
Results support
Hypothesis
Conclusion
Results do NOT
support Hypothesis
Conclusion
34. QUESTION:
Could a skydiver whose parachute failed to
open hit a playground seesaw and send a
small girl flying seven stories high?

seesaw-saga/
35. CONCLUSION
TEST HYPOTHESIS
FORMULATE HYPOTHESIS
GATHER INFORMATION
STATE THE PROBLEM
Could a skydiver whose parachute failed to open hit a playground seesaw and send a small girl flying seven stories high?
WRITE YOUR OWN GRAPHIC ORGANIZER WITH THE SCIENTIFIC
METHOD IN YOUR JOURNAL!!!
36. CONCLUSION
If a skydiver’s parachute didn’t’ open and he landed on a seesaw with a little girl on the other end of the seesaw, she would fly at
least 7 stories high.
TEST HYPOTHESIS
Video showed the girl passed the wall designated as 7 stories. She actually went further.
FORMULATE HYPOTHESIS
If a skydiver’s parachute didn’t open and he landed on a seesaw with a little girl on the other end, she would fly 7 stories high.
GATHER INFORMATION
Drop something on a seesaw like device the other side will pop up.
STATE THE PROBLEM
Could a skydiver whose parachute failed to open hit a playground seesaw and send a small girl flying seven stories high?
37. -Work together to put it in a

Method
Know how to apply the Scientific Method
Know the following terms:
