Page 2: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

The Scientific MethodThe Scientific Method

• The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question or solve a problem.

Page 3: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

Steps of the Scientific MethodSteps of the Scientific Method

• 1. Make an Observation: Observations can be made with the five senses. Sight, touch, taste, feel, and hearing.

Page 4: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• 2. Ask a Question: Based on an observation.

Page 5: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• 3. Form a Hypothesis: Which is a possible explanation for what you have observed.

Page 6: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

PredictionsPredictions

• Before a scientists can test a hypothesis, they must first make predictions.

Page 7: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• A Prediction is a statement of cause and effect that can be used to set up a test for a hypothesis.

Page 8: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• Predictions are usually stated in an “If…, then…” format.

Page 9: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• 4. Test the Hypothesis: By conducting experiments.

Page 10: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• 5. Analyze the Results: Collected from experiments.

Page 11: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• 6. Draw Conclusions: From the results of your experiment.

Page 12: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• 7. Communicate Results: To other scientists.

Mid-Section ReviewMid-Section Review

• Using the steps of the scientific Method, explain using these steps, why anoles use their dewlaps? Explain in detail EX. How would you test your hypothesis?

Designing an ExperimentDesigning an Experiment

• 1. Stating the Problem.

• 2. Forming a hypothesis.

• 3. Setting up a controlled experiment.

• 4. Recording and analyzing results.

• 5. Drawing a conclusion.

Key TermKey Term

• Spontaneous Generation: Hypothesis (Disproven) stating that life could arise from nonliving matter.

Page 21: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

Setting up a controlled experimentSetting up a controlled experiment

• In science, testing a hypothesis often involves designing an experiment.

Page 22: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• The factors in an experiment that can change are called Variables.

Page 23: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• Examples of variables include equipment used, type of material, amount of material, temperature, light, and time.

Page 24: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• Whenever possible, a hypothesis should be tested by an experiment in which only one variable is changed at a time.

Page 25: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• All other variables should be kept unchanged or controlled.

• This type of experiment is called a Controlled Experiment.

Page 26: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• The variable that is deliberately changed is called the Manipulated Variable.

Page 27: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• The Variable that is observed and that changes in response to the manipulated variable is called the Responding Variable.

How a Theory DevelopsHow a Theory Develops

• In Science, the word Theory applies to a well tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations.

Page 29: Chapter 1 Section 2 How Scientists Work. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is often described as a series of steps that is used to answer question

• A theory enables scientists to make accurate predictions about new situations.
