This document outlines the steps of the scientific method that students will follow to conduct an experiment counting the number and colors of candy pieces in a bag of Nips candy. The steps include: making observations, developing a question, forming a hypothesis, performing a test by counting and recording the candy pieces, analyzing the results by comparing the hypothesis to the actual data, drawing a conclusion, and communicating the results. The document provides examples of questions students proposed and emphasizes that results should not be altered, as that would invalidate the scientific process.

candy
Count the number of
Nips Candy
Record your
observations
Guess what the
answer to the
question would be.
Decide on one
question that you
would like to
answer.

8. RECORD THIS
Record the following observations in a 1/4 sheet of
paper to be submitted today.
Question:
Hypothesis:
Data:
• Total Number of Nips Candy in a bag.
• Number of each color of Nips Candy in a bag
Guide Question:
• Is my hypothesis similar to the actual results of the
experiment? Why or why not?

Objective questions are those based in
fact, where a respondent's answer can
be determined as right, wrong, true or
false.

VARIABLE
can be manipulated, controlled for,
or measured in an experiment

24. SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Here are the basic steps of a scientific
investigations
INDEPENDENT
VARIABLE
represents a quantity that is being
manipulated in an experiment

25. SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Here are the basic steps of a scientific
investigations
DEPENDENT VARIABLE
represents a quantity whose value
depends on how the independent
variable is manipulated

For the best experiments, only one
thing should change. If too many
factors change at once, you cannot
accurately state what the results are.
