Scientific
Method Matching Exercise Resource
In Part I, match each example from Column 2
with the correct step of the scientific method in Column 1. Explain the
reasoning for your choice in Part II.
Part I
Column 1: Scientific Method Steps ___Observe ___Ask
a question ___Create
a hypothesis ___Conduct
an experiment ___Collect
data ___
Interpret results ___
Report results |
Column 2: Examples of Tasks |
a) A scientist, based on his
observation of the pond, believes that if a pond is exposed to the waste of
an industrial plant, then the growth of algae will be accelerated. |
|
b) In her laboratory, a scientist
pours a vial of waste water, collected from the industrial plant, and adds it
to a dish containing pond water. A second dish (the control dish), containing
the same pond water, does not receive the waste water sample. |
|
c) A scientist wonders if the waste
water emitted from an industrial plant is accelerating the growth of algae in
a pond. |
|
d) After fivedays, the scientist
measures the amount of algae present in each dish. |
|
e) The scientist submits his
findings to a scientific journal. |
|
f) After the data is collected, the
scientist discovers that the dish containing both the pond water and waste
water had more than twice the amount of algae than the control dish. |
|
g) A scientist observes that a pond
adjacent to an industrial plant has heavier algae growth than ponds farther
away. |
Part II
Explain
why you believe the "Examples of Task" (Column 2) that you selected
is an example of the corresponding "Scientific Method Steps" (Column
1).
