Step 3: Make a Hypothesis
Scientific Method
Scientific Questions
Step 4: Perform the Experiment
Ignore the evidence (experimental data) and write what I think the correct answer is
Data or observations only from an experiment or the environment
Step 6: Write/Draw Conclusions
Step 5: Analyze the Results
Step 2B: Do Research
I write a final claim based on the evidence anyway
My opinions on what I think the answer is
Step 1: Make observations about the natural world
Scientific Evidence
Step 2A: Ask a Question
Step where we... identified some Sci Q's based on our observations of the cells in the picture like "How does the amount of cellulose effect the cell thickness"
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then...
Step where we... watched a video of what cellulose is.
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) NEVER comes from...
Step where we... answered the question "How does the amount of cellulose effect the cell thickness" AFTER performing the experiment
Step where we... answered the question "How does the amount of cellulose effect the cell thickness" BEFORE performing the experiment
Stepwise process used to answer a question through experimentation
Step where we... looked at different slides under the microscope that ALL had different amount of cellulose in them to see how thick the outer membrane was for each.
Step where we... examined our observations of what we saw during the lab and organized them by cell membrane thickness AND by amount of cellulose in each cell.
These are observations, numbers, data, etc. gathered during a lab/experiment
Evidence for a conclusion (claim) comes from...
Factual questions that are answered without feeling or opinions
Step where we... looked at a picture of cells belonging to a plant, animal, and protist and compared them.
If I think my data from the experiment is wrong then I NEVER
