Part 1:Science Of flight Flashcards
4 ways to draw conclusions
- using the data you have gathered and what you know, explain why you think the experiment turned out like it did
- explain why you think your hypothesis was proved or disproved
- can you relate the results to anything else you have observed before?
- do your conclusions generate any further questions or ideas?
4ways to organize and analyze data
- make a graph
- make a chart
- draw a picture
- draw and label a diagram
State the problem (question)
- what is it that puzzles you?
- what is the question you would like answered?
Form a hypothesis (prediction)
- using what you know, write down an answer to your question
- using what you know, write down a prediction of what you think might happen
Design an experiment (materials and procedure)
- Design an experiment that will help you prove or disprove your hypothesis
- write down a step-step procedure that tells how you will do experiments
- lost what materials you will need to do the experiment
- tell what size and shape containers you need and what the materials need to be made of
- make sure your procedure is very specific
Perform the experiment (observe and record)
- follow each step of your procedure very precisely
- record what you observe and my measurements you take
- give details with lots of description
Hypothesis
An educated guess about the solution to a problem
Control
Used to show that the results of an experiment is really due to the condition being tested
Variable
Factor that changes in an experiment
Experiment
Organized process used to test a hypothesis
Conclusion
Used to show that the results of an experiment is really due to the condition being tested
Theory
A judgement based on the results of an experiment
Data
Observation and measurements recorded during an experiment
What are the 6 steps of the scientific methods?
1- identify the problem 2-research the problem 3-make a hypothesis 4-test the hypothesis 5-observe and record 6-arrive at the conclusion
