Matching Pairs Steps of the Sci Method-MatchOnline version Match the first few steps of the scientific method by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Hypothesis definition 2 Question: How does the age of a person effect how fast they can run? The independent variable is: 3 Step 4 of the Scientific Method 4 Controlled Variable 5 Question: How does the age of a person effect how fast they can run? The controlled variable is: 6 Scientific Method 7 Step 1 of the Scientific Method 8 Step 2 of the Scientific Method 9 Step 3 of the Scientific Method 10 Steps in an Experiment includes: 11 Procedure includes what items 12 Dependent (Responding) Variable 13 Hypothesis needs what items 14 Question: How does the age of a person effect how fast they can run? The dependent variable is: 15 Independent (Manipulated) Variable What we measure in an experiment (the effect) Age of the person 1. Materials needed during an experiment 2. variables 3. steps/directions An explanation done before an experiment that is testable through an experiment. Ask a question AND research information surrounding that question 1. What materials to use & how to use them 2. What is being recorded and how we are recording it The distance that is ran How fast they can run A series of steps used by scientists to solve a problem through experimentation What we keep the same in an experiment Come up with a procedure (experiment) to test your hypothesis What we make different in an experiment (the cause) Write a hypothesis (1st claim) Make observations about the natural world Written in cause/effect (If...then...)
