• A logical, problem solving
technique
• A Step-by-step way in which
scientists answer questions.
1. Observation
2. Ask a
Question
3. Background
research
5. Design and conduct
an experiment
6. Collect data
7. Analyze and Graph
Data
8. Draw
Conclusions
4. Formulate a
hypothesis
• You observe something in the material world,
using your senses or machines which are
basically extensions of those senses.
AH—Look at this!
• The problem identifies what you want to find out. State
the problem in the form of a question:
• Examples:
Ex. Do bean seeds grow faster when fed
compost or fertilizer?
How does __________ affect _______?
What is the effect of _______ on ________?
Why” and “What would happen if..” are also good
beginnings of scientific questions.
• They must be testable:
For example: Are Canaries prettier than blue birds?
Not testable
Scientists never start from scratch in putting together a plan for answering a
question. You should use library and Internet research to help you find the
best way to do things and insure that you don't repeat mistakes from the
past.
• Background research is necessary so that you know how to design and
understand your experiment and how to write a hypothesis.
• Use a table with the "question words" (why, how, who, what, when,
where) to generate research questions from your keywords.
For example:
When does a plant grow the most, with fertilizer or compost?
What plants are most suitable for my experiment?
How many plants must I use?
• Plan to do background research on the history of similar
experiments or inventions.
• Ask other people with more experience than yourself: your
parents and teachers.
• A hypothesis is NOT just an educated guess about
what you think will happen. It must beTESTABLE!!!!
a) Answers the observation and predicts an
outcome of the experiment.
b) “If… then… because” Statement
c) If…..independent variable,
then ….dependent variable
Ex. If given compost, then bean plants
will grow faster than those given fertilizer
• Experiment: a procedure to test the hypothesis
• How are you going to test your hypothesis?
• You Design an Experiment!
• It must include: materials and a step by step
instructions
• Must be run multiple times
• Write all measurements and results of the experiment. They may
be quantitative (numbers) or qualitative
• Be consistent when you are checking your experiments and
recording the results
• Use a table to organize your data in a chart with a title.
– List your independent variable on the left side
– Record your dependent variables on the right side
• If you have more than one dependent variable, use a new column
for each dependent variable
Example:
• Make the data table into a graph
• Graphs make it easier to see patterns in the data.
Graphs
X-axis independent variable
Y-axis dependent variable
Line Graph
a. Used to show changes in dependent variable (plant
growth) over time.
b. Must have title, x-axis title (with units) and y-axis title (with
units)
c. Compare and look for trends and patterns using graphs

Growth of Plant A Over Time
Time (Days)
PlantHeight(cm)
Bar Graph
a. Use it when a set of measurements can be split into discrete
and comparable groups
b. To show the relative change between these groups.
c. Must have titles and legend

AverageGrowthinCentimeters
Pie Graph
a. When showing parts of a whole..i.e. percentages
b. Must have a title and a legend
• Indicate the results. Explain why those results
where given.
• Answer:
– Do your results/data support your hypothesis?
Why or why not?
– What are ways you can improve your data?
– What would you do differently if you were to
repeat the experiment?
Claim
a. Restate your hypothesis
b. Ex. If given compost, then bean plants will grow taller than those given
fertilizer.
Evidence
a. Accept or reject your hypothesis
b. Use the numbers from your chart and graph to explain why.
c. Ex. Plant C which was given only compost grew to a maximum height of
5 cm, Plant B which was given fertilizer grew to a maximum height of
4cm and Plant A which was given nothing at all grew to a maximum
height of 3cm. Therefore, the hypothesis is accepted.
Reasoning
a. Scientifically explain WHY what happened occurred.
b. Ex. Fertilizer contains only trace elements such as phosphorous,
nitrogen and sulphur while compost contains decaying matter
which can provide many complex organic nutrients for a bean
plant. Therefore, the plant treated with compost grows taller.
• A lab report MUST be written after every
investigation.
• A lab report contains the following parts:
1.Title
2. Introduction
3. Materials
4. Procedure
5. Results
6. Conclusions

  • 10. • A logical, problem solving technique • A Step-by-step way in which scientists answer questions.
  • 11. 1. Observation 2. Ask a Question 3. Background research 5. Design and conduct an experiment 6. Collect data 7. Analyze and Graph Data 8. Draw Conclusions 4. Formulate a hypothesis
  • 12. • You observe something in the material world, using your senses or machines which are basically extensions of those senses. AH—Look at this!
  • 13. • The problem identifies what you want to find out. State the problem in the form of a question: • Examples: Ex. Do bean seeds grow faster when fed compost or fertilizer? How does __________ affect _______? What is the effect of _______ on ________? Why” and “What would happen if..” are also good beginnings of scientific questions. • They must be testable: For example: Are Canaries prettier than blue birds? Not testable
  • 14. Scientists never start from scratch in putting together a plan for answering a question. You should use library and Internet research to help you find the best way to do things and insure that you don't repeat mistakes from the past. • Background research is necessary so that you know how to design and understand your experiment and how to write a hypothesis. • Use a table with the "question words" (why, how, who, what, when, where) to generate research questions from your keywords. For example: When does a plant grow the most, with fertilizer or compost? What plants are most suitable for my experiment? How many plants must I use? • Plan to do background research on the history of similar experiments or inventions. • Ask other people with more experience than yourself: your parents and teachers.
  • 15. • A hypothesis is NOT just an educated guess about what you think will happen. It must beTESTABLE!!!! a) Answers the observation and predicts an outcome of the experiment. b) “If… then… because” Statement c) If…..independent variable, then ….dependent variable Ex. If given compost, then bean plants will grow faster than those given fertilizer
  • 16. • Experiment: a procedure to test the hypothesis • How are you going to test your hypothesis? • You Design an Experiment! • It must include: materials and a step by step instructions • Must be run multiple times
  • 17. • Write all measurements and results of the experiment. They may be quantitative (numbers) or qualitative • Be consistent when you are checking your experiments and recording the results • Use a table to organize your data in a chart with a title. – List your independent variable on the left side – Record your dependent variables on the right side • If you have more than one dependent variable, use a new column for each dependent variable
  • 19. • Make the data table into a graph • Graphs make it easier to see patterns in the data. Graphs X-axis independent variable Y-axis dependent variable
  • 20. Line Graph a. Used to show changes in dependent variable (plant growth) over time. b. Must have title, x-axis title (with units) and y-axis title (with units) c. Compare and look for trends and patterns using graphs example 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Growth of Plant A Over Time Time (Days) PlantHeight(cm)
  • 21. Bar Graph a. Use it when a set of measurements can be split into discrete and comparable groups b. To show the relative change between these groups. c. Must have titles and legend 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Average Plant Growth over 50 Days Plant A (Control) Plant B (Fer- tilizer Added) Plant C (Compost Added) Plant A Plant B Plant C AverageGrowthinCentimeters
  • 22. Pie Graph a. When showing parts of a whole..i.e. percentages b. Must have a title and a legend
  • 23. • Indicate the results. Explain why those results where given. • Answer: – Do your results/data support your hypothesis? Why or why not? – What are ways you can improve your data? – What would you do differently if you were to repeat the experiment?
  • 24. Claim a. Restate your hypothesis b. Ex. If given compost, then bean plants will grow taller than those given fertilizer. Evidence a. Accept or reject your hypothesis b. Use the numbers from your chart and graph to explain why. c. Ex. Plant C which was given only compost grew to a maximum height of 5 cm, Plant B which was given fertilizer grew to a maximum height of 4cm and Plant A which was given nothing at all grew to a maximum height of 3cm. Therefore, the hypothesis is accepted. Reasoning a. Scientifically explain WHY what happened occurred. b. Ex. Fertilizer contains only trace elements such as phosphorous, nitrogen and sulphur while compost contains decaying matter which can provide many complex organic nutrients for a bean plant. Therefore, the plant treated with compost grows taller.
  • 25. • A lab report MUST be written after every investigation. • A lab report contains the following parts: 1.Title 2. Introduction 3. Materials 4. Procedure 5. Results 6. Conclusions
