Scientific Method - ANSW-The steps in a scientific investigation.
Observation - ANSW-The first step in the scientific method. After this is done you then ask questions.
Hypothesis - ANSW-Possible explanation; The second step in the scientific method is to form a
hypothesis.
Testable - ANSW-In order for a hypothesis to be of any scientific use it must be testable.
Experiment - ANSW-Test your predictions to find out if they are true; The third step in the scientific
method.
Control variable - ANSW-All variables which must remain constant during the experiment.
Independent variable - ANSW-Variables that are controlled and manipulated by the researcher.
Dependent variable - ANSW-The response that is measured.
Theory - ANSW-Like a hypothesis, but more certain; a widely accepted generalization about a
fundamental concept in science. They are considered highly likely to be true but can be disproven.
Conclusion - ANSW-The fourth step in the scientific method.
Retest - ANSW-The fourth and final step in the scientific method.
