Scientific Inquiry Overview
Observations Background Research to learn about your topic
Question-What are you going to do research on?
Hypothesis (if/then statement with 2 supporting statements)
Experiment/Procedures (getting data)
Independent Variable-What are you testing?
Dependent Variable-What variable changes due to the independent variable?
Control-Used to compare your results to and is the "norm".
Constants-Factors that are involved in the experiment that need to be kept the same.
Results/Analyzing Data
Graphing (3 types of graphs-line, bar, pie)
x-axis = independent variables and y-axis = dependent variables
Conclusion-What is the answer to your question? Does it lead to another question?
Graph Interpretation
What would you do differently?
