Presentation Transcript

Slide1

Scientific MethodSlide2

Observations

Very important

Things that make you go “Hmmm?”

Survival techniqueSlide3

Questions

An art form

Differing perspectives

Good questions make good discoveries (I wonder what will happen if I…?)Slide4

Hypothesis

It’s what you

think

will happen, based on what you know

Needs to be answerable

Needs to be testableSlide5

Experimental Design

The “test”, crucial

Variables- change

Independent vs. Dependent

Groups

Control vs. Experimental

ControlsSlide6

Report

Discuss your findings

Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not?

What went wrong? (errors)

What would you do differently?Slide7

Caveman Dave

Observation:

A lot of deer drink water at Lake

Hoochimuma

during the nightSlide8

Caveman Dave

Questions:

Could I drink that water? (same)

Is that a good spot to catch deer? (similar)

Will there be a saber-toothed tiger around? (extended)Slide9

Caveman Dave

Hypothesis:

I think it’s water and water is safe to drink

I think if I hunt there at night I will capture more deer

I think if I go near the lake I will be attacked by a saber-toothed tigerSlide10

Caveman Dave

Experiment #1

For the next week, 10 people drink from the river and 10 people drink from the lakeSlide11

Caveman Dave

Variables:

Independent- what are we changing/adjusting?

Dependent- what is our expected goal/result. Can we measure it?Slide12

Caveman Dave

Groups:

Control- old or normal conditions

Experimental- new conditions or changesSlide13

Caveman Dave

Controls- what should we keep the same?Slide14

Caveman Dave

Experiment #2

For the next month, 10 people from the Cave hunt for deer at night and 10 people from Caveman James’ Cave will hunt during the daySlide15

Caveman Dave

Variables:

Independent- what are we changing/adjusting?

Dependent- what is our expected goal/result. Can we measure it?Slide16

Caveman Dave

Groups:

Control- old or normal conditions

Experimental- new conditions or changesSlide17

Caveman Dave

Controls- what should we keep the same?
