Unit 1: The Practice of Science Review

Rent Rules

If you land on a space after it has already been claimed, you must pay the owner of that space $50

Steven runs from the bus every morning and times how long it takes it to get to class. This is an example of:A. Forming a hypothesisB. Repeating an experimentC. Replicating an experimentD. Turning data into evidence

Repeating an Experiment

Qualitative data- it deals with physical properties instead of numbers

C. How many zombies they were able to hit

Roll Again!

D. It is an educated prediction or a possible answer

C. The lakes in Florida

?

This is a question mark. I ran out of ideas, so...yeah. Bye now

Answers will vary. Accept anything that focuses on viewing the natural world without manipulating variables. Examples include studying volcanoes, observing distant planets, and examining weather conditions

1. Ask a testable question2. Gather background research3. Form a hypothesis4. Conduct an experiment5. Analyze data6. Draw a conclusion7. Communicate your results

It is important replicate experiments to see if the results are accurate. Due to errors, other investigators might not get the same results

The purpose of background research is to teach you what others have already learned so that you can form an educated prediction

Roll Again!

Comparative investigation

B. Test out a hypothesis with an experiment

B. Potatoes have alternating seasons of growth

It's your birthday! Everyone gives you $50

Observational investigation

D. Draw a conclusion

Answers will vary, but each hypothesis should include If/ThenA possible answer would be, "If a car crashed at 100mph, then the tissue box would be thrown at the same speed

A control group is the group that does not receive the independent variable. This is important because it allows the investigator to compare results with an unaffected group

Ask your group one of the bellwork questions. you get $100 dollars for everyone of your teammates that get it wrong

Ask your teammates one of the bellwork questions. You get an extra $100 for everyone who gets it wrong. No hints!

This paragraph is ready to be filled with incredible creativity, experiences, and stories.

Each player must choose a color: blue, green, yellow or pink. He/she gets a tile to mark his/her position and 10 houses to indicate the properties he/she acquires during the game.Each player must take the tile of his/her color and place it on the starting square.To start playing, click on the dice and move your piece to the corresponding square.In each square there must be one or more questions. If you get it right, place one of your houses on that square - congratulations, you have a new property!Special squares: the squares with icons contain penalties such as "Player pays electricity tax: loses 2 houses". Get the question right to avoid the penalty!The player who has the highest number of houses on the board once all the squares are occupied wins.

C. Forming a hypothesis

Free $200. Who doesn't like free money?!

1. Restate the questions and the hypothesis2. write all the data and explain whether it supports your hypothesis3. Discuss any errors that occured in an experiment4. Share how you might do it differently next time

Answers will vary.

Answers will include Earth tilt and axis (causes seasons), Earth's relative location to the sun (not too hot or too cold), liquid water (All living things need water), and the atmosphere (Keeps out the sun's harmful rays)

You cheated! Maybe...Maybe not. You still have to give up one of your properties and the money that you earned with it

Give an example of an observational investigation

Place the 7 steps of the scientific method in order

A. More potatoes were grown in 2013 than in 2015B. Potato production has alternating seasons of growthC. 2012 was the worst year for potato growthD. 2011 was an average year for potato growth

What conclusion can be made from the following data?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit

Write out a hypothesis for the testable question: can a tissue box become a deadly projectile in a car crash?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit

What are the four parts of a conclusion?

What is the independent variable in the following question: A marine biologist intern collects data on the presence of red tide blooms in lakes around FloridaA. The amount of red tide bloomsB. The intern doing the researchC. The lakes in FloridaD. The type of red type bloom

The mythbusters tested to see if the type of weapon made a difference when fighting and killing zombies. What is the dependent variable?A. The type of weapon they usedB. How fast the zombie movedC. How many zombies they were able to hitD. The person holding the weapon

Stephen predicted that seeds would start to grow faster if an electric current traveled through the soil in which they were planted.A. Recognizing a problemB. Conducting an experimentC. Forming a hypothesisD. Drawing a conclusion

Rene grew bacteria from the mouth on special plates in the laboratory. She placed drops of different mouthwashes on bacteria on each plateA. Ask a testable QuestionB. Test out a hypothesis with an experimentC. Analyze DataD. Draw a conclusion

Kim’s experiment showed that chicken egg shells were stronger when she gave the hen feed to which extra calcium had been addedA. Ask a testable questionB. Conduct an experimentC. Form a hypothesisD. Draw a conclusion

Dana records the colors of pennies after testing different cleaning chemicals on them. What kind of data is she collecting?

Which is true about hypothesis?A. It may reject or accept your positionB. It is the final answer to your questionC. It summarizes the final result of the experimentD. It is an educated prediction or possible answer

Why should background research alwys come before it a hypothesis?

Explain why it is important to replicate experiments

Explain why it is important to have a control group in an experiment

Which type of scientific investigation should we use to see different temperatures of objects in the Sun and shade?A. Experimental investigationB. Observational investigationC. Comparative investigationD. Hypothetical investigation

A chemist views the structure of oxygen underneath a microscope. What type of scientifi investigation is this?A. Experimental investigationB. Observational InvestigationC. Comparative investigationD. Hypothetical investigation

Give a specific example of how a scientific discovery has been used to glorify God.

Explain a specific piece of evidence that is used to support the claim, "Earth is the only planet that is able to support life"
