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 6
In an experiment, what is the dependent variable?
What does it mean to analyze data in the scientific method?
What is the difference between an observation and an inference?
What is the purpose of conducting an experiment in the scientific method?
What should you do if your experiment results are different from what you expected?
What should you do if your hypothesis is not supported by the data?
A student observes that a plant in the window grows faster than one in the shade. What is a good question to ask next? (1) Why do plants need water? (2) Does sunlight affect plant growth? (3) How tall is the plant? (4) What color are the leaves?
A student wants to know if plants grow faster in sunlight or shade. What is the independent variable in this experiment? (1) Amount of water (2) Type of plant (3) Amount of sunlight (4) Type of soil
