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 9
A scientist tests the effect of different amounts of water on seed germination. What is the dependent variable?
A student wants to know if the type of liquid affects plant growth. She uses water, juice, and soda. What is the independent variable?
A student wants to test if fertilizer affects plant growth. What is the independent variable in this experiment?
What is meant by a 'fair test' in the context of the scientific method?
