1. The first step in the scientific method is: a. state a hypothesis b. make an observation c. conduct an experiment d. make a prediction 2. In an experiment, the condition being measured or tested is called the: a. dependent variable b. independent variable c. controlled variable d. blind 3. Variables that are held constant during an experiment are called the: a. dependent variables b. independent variables c. controlled variables d. blind 4. The condition that is being evaluated for it effect in an experiment is called the: a. dependent variable b. independent variable c. controlled variable d. blind 5. Resolution of a microscope refers to its ability to provide: a. enlarged images b. full lighting of specimens c. clear detail of specimens d. a wider field of view

make an observation). This involves noticing something in the natural world that sparks curiosity or interest. In an experiment, the condition being measured or tested is called the dependent variable (a. dependent variable). This is the variable that is expected Show more…

Put the following steps of the Scientific Method in the proper order: 1. Identify the problem 2. Research the problem 3. Formulate a hypothesis 4. Test the hypothesis 5. Observe and record data 6. Analyze the data 7. Arrive at a conclusion Match the following terms with the correct definition: 1. Hypothesis - b) an educated guess about a solution to a problem 2. Control - g) factor that changes in an experiment 3. Variable - c) observations and measurements recorded during an experiment 4. Experiment - a) organized process used to test a hypothesis 5. Conclusion - d) a judgment based on the results of an experiment 6. Theory - e) a logical explanation for events that occur in nature 7. Data - f) used to show that the result of an experiment is really due to the condition being tested

Scientific Method 1. List the steps of the scientific method and explain each step. 2. Define: hypothesis, control, independent variable, dependent variable. 3. How is a hypothesis different from a scientific theory? 4. How many independent variables should a good experiment have? 5. Define placebo. What is the purpose of giving someone a placebo? Is this a control? 6. Why is it important to have controls? 7. How do I identify hypothesis, control and independent and dependent variables of an experiment? 8. Are the results of good, careful, controlled experiments always true?
