Understanding Scientific Investigation: Steps and Components of Experimentation

This guide outlines the key steps of scientific investigation, emphasizing the importance of each component in conducting a successful experiment. It details the problem/purpose, hypothesis formation, materials needed, procedure to follow, data collection, results analysis, and the conclusion drawn from the experiment. By understanding these elements, students can effectively design and present their experiments, enhancing their learning and analytical skills. Examples illustrate how these steps are applied in real experiments, providing a practical understanding of scientific methodology.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Scientific Investigation Science SOL 2.1

  2. Steps in order Problem/purpose Hypothesis Materials Procedure Data & Results Conclusion

  3. Problem/Purpose This is why you are doing the experiment.

  4. Hypothesis (If….then…) Example: If the water temperature is increased, then the amount of sugar that can be dissolved in it will increase.

  5. Materials

  6. Procedure These are the steps you complete during the experiment.

  7. Data and Results After you have followed the steps of the experiment, record the data and find out your results. Record your data on a chart or graph. Is there anything unusual about your results?

  8. Conclusion

  9. Question 1 This is what I think will happen in the experiment Hypothesis

  10. Question 2 Why am I doing the experiment? Purpose

  11. Question 3 These are the steps I must use to do the experiment. Procedure

  12. Question 4 I can take pictures or draw graphs to record my results. Data/ Results

  13. Question 5 The __________________ checks to see if my hypothesis is correct. Conclusion

  14. Question 6 These are the things I will need to do the experiment. Materials

  15. Scenario 1 Ashley and Jake wanted to do an experiment with magnets. They listed the things they needed to do the experiment: magnets, toy cars, and rubber bands. What part of the scientific method is this called? Materials

  16. Scenario 2 Conner and Karen were testing to see which ball, a basketball or a tennis ball, would bounce higher. Before they did the experiment, each of them made an educated guess about what they thought would happen before the experiment. What part of the scientific method is this called? Hypothesis

  17. Scenario 3 Ms. Waters and Ms. Brown measured how high they could jump by wearing different kinds of shoes. From their results, they found out that shoes with rubber soles are better for jumping than shoes with plastic soles. What part of the scientific method is this called? Conclusion

  18. Scenario 4 Jacob and Clark wanted to test if sugar or salt dissolved faster in hot water. In order to do this, they followed certain steps to complete the experiment. What part of the scientific method is this called? Procedure
