Scientific Method Steps
Biology ⇒ Scientific Inquiry and Experimental Design in Biology
Scientific Method Steps starts at 6 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Scientific Method Steps.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe one way bias can be reduced in scientific experiments.
Describe the difference between qualitative and quantitative observations in the scientific method.
Describe the importance of publishing scientific results in peer-reviewed journals.
Explain why it is important for scientific experiments to be repeatable by other scientists.
A researcher tests the effect of fertilizer on plant growth. What is the independent variable? (1) Amount of fertilizer (2) Plant height (3) Type of plant (4) Amount of water
A scientist observes that a certain bacteria grows faster at higher temperatures. What should the scientist do next according to the scientific method? (1) Form a hypothesis (2) Analyze data (3) Draw a conclusion (4) Communicate results
A scientist wants to test if a new drug reduces fever faster than the current standard. What is the control group in this experiment? (1) Patients receiving the new drug (2) Patients receiving the standard drug (3) Patients not receiving any treatment (4) Patients receiving both drugs
A student hypothesizes that increasing the amount of water will increase plant growth. What is the dependent variable? (1) Amount of water (2) Plant growth (3) Type of plant (4) Amount of sunlight
