FORMULATING GOOD QUESTIONS |
|
In class you were assigned one of the five hypotheses. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. I have included a link to the worksheet with the hypotheses if you did not get a chance to write down your hypothesis in class.
Use the Scientific Method Lab Worksheet to help you with the correct format as well as your "Designing a scientific Investigation" hand out(which you can find under policies and procedures tab)to guide you in setting up your experiment.
You must complete the following parts for your homework:
Problem
Background Info (Minimum of three facts)
Hypothesis
Design and Experiment
Materials
Procedures

This review worksheet will help you study for the test.

HOMEWORK: 9/14/11
CANDLE EXPERIMENT LAB QUESTIONS
1. Print out design a scientific investigation. (The link to the right). Use this to help you with your conclusion.
Analysis questions
(Answer in complete sentences)
1. What is the definition of an
Independent Variable and a Dependent Variable?
2. In the Candle lab experiment
what is the independent variable
and the dependent variable(s)?
3. Why do scientists only have one independent variable
in an experiment?
4. Explain the difference between Quantitative Data and
Qualitative Data.
Give two examples for each from the lab.
5. Create two bar graphs on separate graph paper, comparing the
independent variable and dependent
variable(s). (Make sure to label your graphs).
6. Analyze your graph. Explain any trends that you see with your data.
(What does the graph show about
how your independent and
dependent data are related?)
7. Explain five problems with the experimental setup that
might give you unreliable and
inaccurate results. (Remember that in an
experiment everything
should be kept exactly the same
between trials and
measurements need to be precise.)
8. Devise a better way to set up the experiment so that you could
have a more reliable and
accurate study (explain five
ways you could make it better)
9. Write a conclusion. Include all of the information that is required in your conclusion. Use Design a scientific investigation worksheet to help you. (you were given instructions to print it out at the beginning of the analysis questions. If you can't print it out at least write down everything that you need to include in your conclusion.)
