The first step in the scientific method is
State the problem
Facts gained from experimentation and observation are known as
Theories
The study of the living environment is called
Biology
The part of an experiment that does not contain the variable is known as the
Control
A prediction about the possible answer to a problem is called the
Hypothesis
In an experiment, the factor to be tested is called the
Variable
When writing a report of a laboratory investigation, the data collected would be included in the part of the investigation known as the
Observations
A new concept that is tested in a scientific investigation is known as
A theory
When many teach the same conclusion after repeating an experiment many times, the conclusion can be called a an
Scientific law
The results of one experiment carried by a research team would be considered invalid if
The experiment was repeated and same results were obtained were obtained each time
A student is investigating the effect of different environmental factors on the growth of a certain species of bean plant over a period of 30 days. which factor would not function as a variable in this investigation
Amount of light
A student conducted an original, well-designed experiment, carefully following proper scientific procedure. In order for the conclusions to become generally accepted,the experiment must
Be repeated to verify the reliability of the data. A water plant placed in bright light gives off bubbles. A student notes that placing the light at different distances from the plant causes the rate of bubbling to vary. The student decides to design an experiment to investigate the effect of light intensity on the rate of bubble production. An appropriate control for this experiment would be
A plant exposed to sunlight
Which procedure must be followed for the result of a experiment to be considered valid
The experiment must be repeated many times and yield similar results
In an investigation designed to determine the effect of the amount of water on plant growth, two groups of equal sized bean plants of the same species were grown under identical conditions, except for the amount of water they were given. One group was watered with 200 mililiters of water once a day the second group was watered with 400 milliliters of water once a day. After several with 400 milliliters of water once a day showed more growth. The variable in this investigation is the
Amount of water given the plants each day.
