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 8
A student observes that bread molds faster in a warm room than in a cold room. What is the dependent variable?
A student tests the effect of different fertilizers on plant growth. What is the dependent variable?
A student wants to know if salt affects the freezing point of water. What is the first step the student should take?
A student wants to test if plants grow faster with more sunlight. What is the independent variable in this experiment?
A student observes that a certain type of seed grows better in sand than in soil. What should the student do next according to the scientific method? (1) Form a hypothesis (2) Draw a conclusion (3) Analyze data (4) Ignore the observation
