  1. Sixth Grade SOL 6.1

  2. Scientific Process • 1. The scientific method is a series of steps that scientists use to answer questions and solve problems. • 2. Stating the problem is the first step in the scientific method. One asks a question that can be answered through scientific investigation. • 3. An inference is a proposed explanation for an observation

  3. 4. A hypothesis is an educated guess, a proposed answer to your problem. The manipulated (independent) variable, and the responding (dependent) variable.

  4. Variables • 5. Manipulated (independent) variable is a factor that is intentionally changed in an experiment by the investigator • 6. A responding (dependent) variable is a factor that is affected as a result of changing the manipulated (independent) variable

  5. Research and Testing • 7. Conduct research • 8. Plan and perform experiment • 9. There are two types of observations, qualitative (using your senses) and quantitative (involves measurements and numbers).

  6. Data • 10. Organize your data so that you may easily analyze the results. Your data can be used to make predictions and inferences. Use charts, graphs, and diagrams.

  7. 11. One must state a conclusion after performing an experiment. You restate your purpose, describe your results and tell whether your hypothesis was supported or not by your data. Your hypothesis does not need to match. • 12. Rerun your experiment.

  8. Metric Measurement • 13. All scientific measurement is done through the metric system. The basic unit of mass is grams, volume is liters, and length (distance) is meters.

  9. Length • 14. Measure the distance of length of an object • 15. To find length, use a metric ruler.

  10. Mass • 16. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object. It does not change when its location changes. • 17. To find mass use a triple beam balance.

  11. Volume • 18. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up or occupies. • 19. To find volume of an irregular object use a graduated cylinder

  12. 20. Classification is a way of organizing by using characteristics. In an effective classification system, accurate comparisons and contrasts are made. • 21. Predictions are things you think will happen in the future based on past observations and experiences.

  13. Models • 22. Models provide a way of visually representing abstract concepts. The use of models permits students to order events or processes.

  14. One down and a very long and winding road ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
