2.Interpretingdata
Observation: The plant is planted inside the bottle.
Inferences: 1.The plant’s leaves will turn
yellow, and eventually, it will die.
2. The plant will grow healthy.
A temporary explanation for an observation that has to be tested.
“If .....then....” statement
Hypothesizing
Observation: The plant is planted inside the bottle.
Inferences: 1.The plant’s leaves will turn yellow, and eventually, it will die. 2. The plant will grow healthy.
Hypotheses: 1. If plant is planted inside the bottle, the plant’s leaves will turn yellow and will die eventually.
2. If plant is planted inside the bottle, the plant will grow healthy.
1.Controlled Variable – the factor that are the same
3 Kinds of Variables
2. Manipulated Variable – the factor that has to be tested
3. Responding Variable – the factor that affects the result in an experiment
Things that might affect how tall the plant grows could include:
1. the amount of light 2. the temperature of the air3. the kind of soil
3. Controlled variables
PLASTIC CUP OF HOT WATER
STYROFOAM CUP OF HOT WATER
What is the manipulated variable in this experiment on keeping water hot?
What might be the responding variable in this experiment? Remember you should measure.
What would the manipulated variable be in this experiment on how much heat different soils absorb?
What could be the responding variable in this experiment? Remember you should measure.
Look at the illustration at the right. Study how hypotheses are formed.
Observation: The plant is planted inside the bottle.Inferences: 1.The plant’s leaves will turn yellow,
and eventually, it will die. 2. The plant will grow healthy.
Hypotheses: 1. If plant is planted inside the bottle, the plant’s leaves will turn yellow and will die eventually.
2. If plant is planted inside the bottle, then the plant will grow healthy.
