Introduction to Science and the Scientific Method Analysis Questions.
Students in periods two, three, four, and five worked on a scientific method practice problem involving the growth of orchids. Students should complete the analysis questions they received in class this weekend and be prepared to discuss the questions on Monday during class.
Analysis Questions:
A. Why is it important to have a large sample size in any experiment?
B. Why is it important to repeat the experiment many times?
C. What is the importance of the control?
D. How is a theory different than a hypothesis?
E. Why is it so important that a scientist accurately describes the procedure used in the experiment?
F. What is the difference between the independent and the dependent variables in an experiment?
G. In a “controlled experiment”, why must all of the variables, except one, be kept constant throughout the experiment?
