Edit Comment Close Premium member Presentation Transcript Slide 1: The Scientific Method Slide 2: Why Use the Scientific Method? Slide 3: To find out the answer to a question or to solve a problem. Slide 4: The Steps of the Scientific Method 1. Ask a question : 1. Ask a question What is it that you want to know? What are some examples of questions we use the scientific method for? 2. Do Background Research : 2. Do Background Research Gather information about the topic: Where are some good places you can look for imformation? 3. Construct a Hypothesis : 3. Construct a Hypothesis A Hypothesis is an “educated” guess that answers your question. Educated Guess 4. Experiment: Test Your Hypothesis : 4. Experiment: Test Your Hypothesis Create a well organized and thought out experiment to test your hypothesis. Repeat the experiment more than once, so that your results are more accurate. 5. Analyze your Data : 5. Analyze your Data Gather the data from your experiment. Analyze the data in relation to your question and hypothesis. 6. Record Observations : 6. Record Observations Record what you noticed during the experiment 7. Draw Conclusion : 7. Draw Conclusion Was your hypothesis supported or rejected? Activity #1 : Activity #1 Get in groups of 4: In your group create a mnemonic of the seven steps of the scientific method: Question Research Hypothesis Experiment Data Observation Conclusion Once your group is done have one member of the group write it on the board. Example: : Example: Q- quiet R-rodents H- hide E- everywhere D- due to O- obese C- cats Quiet Rodents Hide Everywhere Due to Obese Cats The Scientific Method Rap : The Scientific Method Rap Activity #2- M&M : Activity #2- M&M Each group of 2 will receive one bag of M&M’s. Once in your group agree on a question about your bag of M&M’s that you would like to know. Form your hypothesis Open the bag of M&M’s and count the number of M&M’s in total and each color. Fill out the data chart. What is your conclusion? Was your hypothesis supported or rejected? Why? Data Chart : Data Chart Question: Hypothesis: Data: Conclusion: DON’T EAT YOUR M&M’S….YET! : DON’T EAT YOUR M&M’S….YET! Now everybody stand up! When the ball is thrown to you: Will be asked a question about The Scientific Method After you answer throw the ball to another classmate If you answered correctly you may sit down and eat your M&M’s! If you answered wrong you have to remain standing and wait for another turn. Slide 19: Why use the scientific method? Slide 20: What is the first step? Hint: Use your mnemonic Slide 21: What is an example of the first step? Slide 22: What is the second step? Slide 23: What are good ways to complete the second step? Slide 24: What is the third step? Slide 25: What is the fourth step? Slide 26: What is a key thing to remember during the fourth step? Slide 27: What is the fifth step? Slide 28: What is the sixth step? Slide 29: What is the seventh step? Slide 30: For the remaining people standing either: Recite your mnemonic aloud Say one thing you’ve learned about the scientific method today. Was your hypothesis for the M&M activity supported or rejected? Why? Slide 31: You did it! You learned The Scientific Method!!!! You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
