An organized procedure to solve a problem, evaluate a procedure or set of situations. A way of looking at things that is based on observations and data.Evaluating the data and coming up with conclusions based on data.The conclusion can be positive, negative, or undetermined.

Scientific Method Procedures Observation
The foundation of the scientific method Leads to a question regarding the event or
characteristic
Hypothesis Is an “educated guess” It is a tentative cause and effect statement Has to be testable Is rejected or accepted at the conclusion of
an experiment

Terminology Hypothesis: a possible answer to a scientific
question Q: “How will studying affect my test score?” Hypothesis: “If I study for… then my test score will…”
Prediction: states the expected outcome of an experiment designed to test the hypothesis “My test score will increase.”
Inference: a logical interpretation based on prior knowledge and experience “I have always done poorly in science, so I will do poorly this time too.” or“If I study more, I will be prepared, and I will do better.

Scientific Method Procedures
Experiment Experiments must be repeatable and reproducible
independent variable - this will be the single variable you elect to manipulate or change.
dependent variable - this will be the single observation, or the result you will be observing and measuring.
controlled variables - these are factors that you will keep constant (“keep controlled”) during the experiment, so that they do not affect the dependent variable.

Scientific Method Procedures
Collect/ Analyze Data Always report ALL results
(the good, the bad, and the ugly!) Look for patterns in the data. Make charts
and graphs Conclusion
Look for what happened and why it happened.
Look for trends and patterns. Make a statement on what you see. A no difference is an OK conclusion.
![Page 8: OBJECTIVE 1: THE NATURE OF SCIENCE. An organized procedure to solve a problem, evaluate a procedure or set of situations. A way of looking at things that](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649cc65503460f9499002f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Predicting Trends in Data
You will be asked to make a conclusion or make a prediction based on information that they give you.
Test Taking Tip: When you are drawing a conclusion or predicting a trend in the data, you have to base your answer on the data given.
This means that they have to give you the answer! Do NOT rely on anything but what is given to you. If an answer choice is about something not mentioned
or goes against the given data, it is NOT the right answer.
On TAKS, there should be an obvious connection. Look for the connection in the statement of the
problem. Look for what is held the same and what is changed
and measured.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. A chart is a way or organize data.A graph is a picture of the data that helps you see trends and patterns.

A Line or Scatter Graph
A line or scatter graph is used when you are trying to show a connection between to variables.
How does what you change (the independent variable; usually on the x-axis) connect to the thing you measure (the dependent variable; usually on the y-axis).
When you have two sets of numerical data, you use a line graph.

Line Graph
Line graphs are used when one variable (the independent variable, the year) affects another variable(the dependent, the number of graduates) .

Bar Graphs The data for this graph are non-numerical
and discrete for at least one variable. There are no dependent and independent
variables. Axes may be reversed to give graph with
the categories on the x axis. Bar graphs can therefore be drawn
horizontally or vertically. This type of graph is very useful for
comparing two or more similar items.

Graphs ?
Be able to read them. Look at each axis for clues.
Look for units. Look for trends and be able to predict what
may happen next. For TAKS, the independent variable, the
one you change or manipulate is graphed on the x-axis. The dependent variable, the one you measure, or the one that responds to the changes you made, are graphed on the y-axis.
Dry Mix : Dependent, Responsive on Y-axis : Manipulated, Independent on the X-axis.

Be Safe
ALWAYS WEAR GOGGLES and APRONS when told to do so! ALWAYS POUR ACID SLOWLY INTO WATER! NEVER water
into acid! Water and electricity do not mix. Never work alone in the lab. Long hair tied back. Wear proper clothing. Wear closed toe shoes. Do not eat or drink in the lab. No playing in lab area. Read the MSDS sheets before working with chemicals. Dispose of chemicals and materials properly. Know where the safety equipment is located: eye wash,
fire extinguisher, shower, exits, … Do not wear rubber gloves when dealing with heat. Rubber
melts.

Safety with Gases or Inhalants
Do not inhale any gas or vapor unless directed to do so by your teacher. WAFT any scent to your nostrils to
ensure that you do not destroy the mucus membranes of your respiratory system.
Handle materials that emit vapors or gases in a fume/ vent hood.
Work in a well ventilated room. Use common sense.

Accidents, Injuries, Equipment Breaks Report any accident or injury to your
teacher IMMEDIATELY!
If you cannot notify the teacher because of your injury – have your lab partner tell the teacher!

Use Common Sense
When using scalpels, sharp probes, and knives do not cut objects while holding them in your hand.
Cut objects on a suitable work surface. Always cut in a direction away from your body.
Hot glass looks like cold glass. Use tongs or insulated/ thermal holders
when handling heated objects. Never point the open end of a test tube at
yourself or others when heating it
