THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD Problem =
observation, question, or problemObservation:
Running shoes degrade when exposed to weather
Question: Do mouthguards hinder athletic performance?
![Page 2: Problem = observation, question, or problem Observation: Running shoes degrade when exposed to weather Question: Do mouthguards hinder athletic performance?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022072016/56649ef05503460f94c0148d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD Hypothesis =
testable statement describing what YOU think will happenAddition of PIB will
improve the durability of an athletic shoe
Mouthguards will not hinder athletic performance
PIB = PolyisobutylenePIB Uses:-Chewing gum-Medical adhesives-Fuel additives

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD Experiment =
Ways to test the hypothesisMake PIB-based
material and test the properties
Study to test athletic ability when using and not using a mouthguard

EXPERIMENT Control group?
Experimental group?
Independent variable?
Dependent variable?
Wearing or not wearing the mouthguard
Vertical jump performance
Group not wearing the mouthguard
Group wearing the mouthguard

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD Conclusion = Statement discussing if
hypothesis is correct or notDetermined that vertical jump was similar
for both control and experimental groupResults lead to the hypothesis being
correct!
