Using the Scientific Method: The First Three Steps By J. Higgins (2018) Science is a method of answering questions about the natural world using a special process called “The Scientific Method". The Scientific Method was created so that scientists could collect evidence to answer questions. When scientists follow the Scientific Method, the data that they collect should be repeatable by any other scientist. Scientists share every important detail of their ‘experiments and investigations so that other scientists can repeat their work and feel confident in the answers. | have observed that nearly all BASIS 4!" graders are very good at Step #1 of the Scientific Method which is to ask a question. Step #2 of the Scientific Method is to make a prediction or hypothesis. As we have discussed, a prediction is a wise guess about what might happen in the future. Scientists offen tum their predictions into a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction that can be tested using an experiment or investigation. Here is an ‘example of the first two steps of The Scientific Method: Martin has been observing caterpillars in his backyard. He found a field guide and looked up the type of caterpillar. He learned that the caterpillars in his back yard will metamorphose into Yellow Swallowtail Butterflies. Marlin has noticed that the caterpillars seem fo be only on the lemon and grapefruit trees in his yard and not on the mesquite trees. Martin's Mom is upset because these caterpillars are causing quile a bit of damage to her citrus trees. Martin begins to wonder why. Step #1: Ask a Question Why are the Yellow Swallowtail Caterpillars only on the citrus trees? Step #2: Make a Prediction and Hypothesis Prediction - | predict that Yellow Swallowtail Caterpillars eat only citrus leaves, not mesquite. Hypothesis - If a Yellow Swallowtail Caterpillar is given mesquite leaves it will not eat them. Notice how Marlin has created a hypothesis which he can test. He is now ready for Step #3 of the Scientific Method, Planning an Experiment and Controlling for Variables. 10 Step #3: Planning an Experiment and Controlling for Variables Martin sets up an experiment to test his hypothesis. He takes three liter-size jars ond cuts ten air hole in each lid. He labels the jars: A, Band C. He places the jars in his yard in the shade. He adds 15 drops of water to each jar. In Jar A he places five citrus leaves. In Jar B he places five mesquite leaves. In Jar C he places five citrus leaves and five mesquite leaves. Martin goes to his mother's citrus tree and carefully takes three caterpillars. He tries to make sure all three caterpillars are the same size. He places one caterpillar in each jar, puts the lid on and goes to school. When Martin comes home he runs to check the jars. He notices that in Jar A all five citrus leaves have bites out of them and the caterpillar is stil busy munching away. In Jar B the caterpillar is resting on the bottom of the jar and none of the mesquite leaves have been bitten. In Jar C none of the mesquite leaves have been bitten, but all the citrus leaves have bites out of them and the caterpillar is munching away on one of the citrus leaves. Questior What is Martin's Independent Variable? 1 VARIABLES SORT Directions: First, read the following situations, Then cut out the variable pieces and sort them in the correct category. 1. Doniel wanted to know which brand of paper towels could hold the most drops of water before leaking. He went to the store and purchased three differ- ent brands, Bounty, Scolt, and Viva, When he retumed home, he took out three identical glasses, one eye dropper| and a container of water. To be fair, he measured each paper towel piece fo ensure they were alll the same size. Then he began his experiment and put a piece of paper towel over a clear plastic cup and used a rubber band fo hold it down. Then he fook an eyedropper and counted how mony water droplets each paper towel held before leaking through into the cup. Independent Variable Dependent variable | Constant Variables | # 2. Kendra knew from science class that water freezes at 0°C. she started to wonder KB & bout the freezing points of other clear liquids. she decided fo conduct an experiment using vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and bleach. She pours 50 ml of each liquid into three IE plastic containers that are oll the some. She puts them in the freezer at the some fime Cr ond pioces the same brand thermomeier in each liquid. Kendra checks the tempera- tures every fen minutes and records her observations in her journal. ‘Gove coe LAAN Rees 12 $. Stephanie was boking a loaf of bread one day and thought it different yeast brands make any difference on how high the bread rises. She tested three different yeast brands in her recipe. Stephanie measured the same amount of flour, water, yeast, and sugar for each batch. She cooked the bread at the same oven temperature and used the same ruler to measure the bread. She made sure the measure the bread as soon as it came out of the coven. 4, While at school, Jamal saw his teacher do an experiment with Mentos andy and Diet Coke. He was so fascinated of the chemical reaction that he ided to complete his own experiment at home with different brands of diet da to see if the reaction was the same. He tested with Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet epsi, and Diet Root Beer. He made sure to use the same level surface for h_experiment. He also dropped only one Mentos candy in each soda at ix inches above the entrance to the boitle. Jamal measured the reactions jth a meter stick.

Se ® Qualitative vs. Quantitative Name: Date: Directions: Cut out the sorting pieces and sort if the observation is qualitative or quantitative. Remember, qualitative observations use your five senses to describe what things look like, sound like, feel like, or taste like. ‘These observations don’t include numbers. Quantitative observations include measurements or numbers.

They all have matter. That means they fake up space. You might be wondering why these things look so different if they all have matter. Everything found on Earth can be grouped into one of three states of matter: solid, liquid, or gas. in order to figure ‘out which state of matter on object fits in, we have to examine ifs properties. The properties we look at are shape, mass, ond volume. Mass is the amount of matter on object has, and volume is the amount of Solid space the matter takes up. Sofids are easy to recognize. They have defirite shape, mass, and volume. Trees are solids. They are made up of finy particles called atoms. These atoms are packed closely together, and they hold the solid in a
