Remember? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Do we use observations or inferences when identifying a problem?
Step 2: Gather Information ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],www.goldstarexterminators.net
Step 3: Formulate a Hypothesis ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Do we use observation or inference to formulate a hypothesis?
Step 4: Develop an Experiment ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],How would you describe how to make a Peanut Butter  and Jelly Sandwich to someone who had never done it? To someone who didn’t know what peanut butter or jelly is?
Variables: Independent Variable ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Variables:  Constant ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Variable:  Control ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Step 5: Record and Organize Data ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Which one of these independent variables is the control? Which part of the independent variable is the constant? Independent Variable Dependent Variable: Did they follow the line? Blue ink on white paper Yes/No Blue ink on black paper Yes/No
Step 6: Analyze Data ,[object Object],[object Object]
Bar Graph Number of Termites Used for  categorical data
Line Graph Number of termites on the ink line for 40 seconds Number of Termites Line graphs are used for time interval data

Notas del editor

  1. Who is the scientist?
  2. The “I” means whoever is running the experiment. This is the students
  3. Which one of these independent variables is the control? The Blue ink on white paper, since this is the conditions that we first observed i.e. the “normal” conditions Which part of the independent variable is the constant? The blue ink stays the same in both experiments, only the background changes to test the contrast. Would it be fair to use yellow ink on white paper to test the contrast (a light color ink on a white paper)? No. because that experiment also tests the color of ink (since the color changes), not the contrast.
  4. Line graphs are used for time interval data
