  2. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • It’s a method scientists use to study the natural world • The first step is being curious • Others habits • Honesty • Open-mindness • Skepticism • creativity

  3. MATERIALS NEEDED 1 – Colored piece of paper 4 – Sheets of white paper Colored pencils Stapler

  4. FIRST PAGE Fold 1st page 4 cm from the top of the page and set it aside.

  5. SECOND PAGE Fold 2nd page 8 cm from the top of the page and set it aside.

  7. FORTH PAGE DO NOT FOLD

  8. ASSEMBLY FRONT PAGE PAGE 3 PAGE 2 PAGE 1 PAGE 4

  9. Step 1: Pose the Question Step 2: Develop a hypothesis Step 3: Design An Experiment Step 4: Collect the data Step 5: Draw a conclusion Step 6: Communicate the results

  10. FIRST PAGE • A) The first step in Scientific Inquiry. • B) The question must match with the observation you wish to make • C) Questions cannot be based on: • Opinion • Values • Judgments 1) POSING THE QUESTION

  11. STEP #1:POSING THE QUESTION • The first step in Scientific Inquiry • The question must match with the observation you wish to make • Questions cannot be based on: • Opinion • Values • Judgments

  12. SECOND PAGE A) A possible answer to a scientific question or explanation. B) It does not have to be right. C) Must be testable

  13. STEP 2: Develop a HYPOTHESIS • A possible answer to a scientific question or explanation • It does not have to be right • Must be testable • EXAMPLE: • SCIENTIFIC QUESTION: Does changing the distance between an object and light source change the size of the objects shadow? • HYPOTHESIS: Changing the distance between an object and light source changes the size of the objects shadow.

  14. PREDICTIONS vs. INFERRING • Type of Hypothesis • Used to forecast into the future • Based on past experience (DATA) or evidence • Aren’t always correct • Type of hypothesis • Used to reference the present • Based on reasoning or prior knowledge • Aren’t always correct

  15. Step 3: Designing an Experiment • Must be a CONTROLED EXPERIMENT, one in which everything (VARIABLES) stays the same except for one variable. • Variables are factors that can change in an experiment • Variables can be materials or procedures

  16. CONTROLED EXPERIMENT An investigation in which all variables stay the same EXEPT one.

  17. Variables EVERYTHING used in Performing an experiment Can be materials or procedures Factors that can change in an experiment

  18. MANIPULATIVE vs RESPONDING Also called the independent The one variable that is changed in an experiment Cause Also called the dependant The one variable that changes in an experiment Effect

  19. EXAMPLE:What type of music makes you feel good? Manipulated Variable – MUSIC Responding Variable - EMOTIONS

  20. STEP 4: COLLECTING OF DATA A) OBSERVATION is using one or more senses to gather information B) Data are the facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through observations

  21. COLLECTING OF DATA Data can be QUALITATIVE Uses our five senses B) Example: The mixture smells fruity Notes in a journal or log book

  22. COLLECTING OF DATA Data can be QUANTITATIVE Uses numbers Example: There are 22 students in this class Using units of measure

  23. STEP 5: Drawing Conclusions • Draw a conclusion about your hypothesis • Decision about how to interpret what you have learned from the experiment • Sometimes no conclusion can be reached and more data is needed.

  24. COVER Design and color as you wish SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY MUST BE ON THE COVER
