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 12
A researcher observes that a certain bacteria grows faster at higher temperatures. What would be an appropriate hypothesis for this observation?
A scientist wants to test if fertilizer affects plant growth. What is the independent variable in this experiment?
A student hypothesizes that increasing sunlight will increase the rate of photosynthesis in plants. What is the independent variable in this experiment?
A student wants to test the effect of different amounts of water on plant growth. What is the dependent variable?
A researcher observes that a certain bacteria grows faster at higher temperatures. What would be an appropriate hypothesis for this observation?
A scientist conducts an experiment and finds results that do not support the hypothesis. What should the scientist do next? (1) Ignore the results (2) Change the data (3) Revise the hypothesis (4) Stop doing science

A student observes that plants grow faster in sunlight than in shade. What is the next step in the scientific method? (1) Form a hypothesis (2) Collect data (3) Draw a conclusion (4) Analyze data
Which of the following best defines a hypothesis? (1) A proven fact (2) An educated guess (3) A random idea (4) A summary of results
Which of the following best describes a scientific theory? (1) A guess (2) A well-supported explanation (3) An untested idea (4) A single experiment result
Fill in the blank: A __________ is a summary of the results of an experiment and states whether the hypothesis was supported or not.
Fill in the blank: In an experiment, the group that does not receive the experimental treatment is called the __________ group.
Fill in the blank: The __________ method is used by scientists to systematically investigate natural phenomena.
Fill in the blank: The process of reviewing and evaluating the work of other scientists is called __________ review.
Is it correct to say that a single experiment can prove a hypothesis beyond all doubt? Yes or No.
Is it necessary to communicate the results of scientific investigations? Yes or No.
Is it necessary to repeat experiments in the scientific method? Yes or No.
Is it true that scientific knowledge is always tentative and subject to change?
