Asking a Question■ Based on observations; one or
more questions are generated

Forming a Hypothesis – STEP 2
■ A statement is testable if evidence can be collected that either does or doesn’t support it
■ It can never be proven beyond doubt■ Often must be refined and revised
or discarded

5
The Hypothesis ---■ Is a statement made in
advance that states the results that will be obtained from testing the hypothesis
■ Often written in the form of an “if-then” statement

Experimenting – STEP 3■ Testing a hypothesis or prediction
by gathering data under controlled conditions – conducting a controlled experiment■ Based on a comparison of a
control group with an experimental group

■ Both groups are identical except for one factor (independent variable)
■ Observations and measurements are taken for a particular factor (dependent variable) in both groups■Driven by or results from independent variable

■ Measuring■Involves quantitative data that can be measured in numbers &/or qualitative data information that isn’t numbers
■ Sampling■Technique of using a sample – a small part – to represent the entire population

Organizing Data – STEP 4■ Involves placing observations and
measurement (data) in order■ Graphs, charts, tables, or
maps

Analyzing Data – STEP 4 cont)■ Collected and organized data must
be analyzed■ Process of determining whether
data are reliable or whether they support or do not support a hypothesis or prediction

Conclusion – STEP 5■ Conclusions are made on the basis of facts, not observations■ Often drawn from data gathered from a study or experiment
■ Should support the hypothesis
■ Should be re-testable

Communication – STEP 6■ Scientists must share the results
of their studies with other scientists (peers)
■ Publish findings in journals■ Present their findings at
scientific meetings■ Scientists must be unbiased
■ Should not tamper with their data■ Only publish & report tested &
proven ideas

Communication■ Sharing of information is
essential to scientific process■ Subject to examination and
verification by other scientists■ Allows scientists to build on the
work of others

Theories■ A theory may be formed
after many related hypotheses have been tested and supported with experimental evidence
■ A broad and comprehensive statement of what is thought to be true
■ Supported by considerable evidence
■ Ties together related hypotheses

Laws■ A Statement of fact that concisely explains an action or group of actionse.g. Law of Gravity
■ Accepted to be true■ Universal■ May be expressed as a math equatione.g. E=mc2
