Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Scientific Method. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The scientific method is a process that scientists follow in order to learn about the world around us.

The scientific method allows other scientists to repeat an experiment and confirm the results.

A step in the scientific method is asking a scientific question based on observations of phenomena in the world.

Scientific questions are questions that can be answered with appropriate empirical evidence.

A controlled variable is something that remains the same in each trial of an experiment.

An independent variable is something that the scientist modifies in the experiment.

A dependent variable is something that the scientist measures in response to a change in an independent variable.

A trial is a single test of the variables that occurs during an experiment.

Many experiments have multiple trials.

When planning an experiment, scientists determine what tools are needed to gather data.

When planning an experiment, scientists determine how measurements will be recorded.

When planning an experiment, scientists determine a specific procedure to follow.

During an investigation, data are measured and recorded.

Scientists may need to revise an experimental design to produce data that meet the goals of the investigation.

Data can be represented in tables or graphical displays.

Analyzing data from an experiment is a part of the scientific process.

Data can be analyzed to determine relationships between variables.

Scientists can communicate the results of their work in many ways, such as oral presentations, written reports, graphs, and charts.

A conclusion is a summary statement that compares the hypothesis in an investigation with the actual results.

A step in the scientific method is to draw a conclusion supported by evidence, scientific ideas, and theories.

A step in the scientific method is planning and carrying out an investigation to test a hypothesis.

A variable is a part of an experiment that is observed and/or changed.

A hypothesis is an educated guess about the answer to a scientific question based on observations and scientific principles.

A step in the scientific method is developing a hypothesis.
