| The hypothesis stated the type of water sealer would affect mass of wood blocks soaked in water. The data collected supports the hypothesis. | CONCLUSION |
| Starts with “Does” or “Will”, contains IV and DV, and ends with “?” | PROBLEM |
| -Written as numbered steps -Each step begins with a verb, “command” statements | PROCEDURE |
| -Restates hypothesis -States whether hypothesis is supported or not supported | CONCLUSION |
| Will the type of water sealer affect mass of wood blocks soaked in water in grams? | PROBLEM |
| If the type of sealer changes, then the amount of mass wood blocks will change. The blocks that have the sealer that contains carboxyl will gain the least amount of water. | HYPOTHESIS |
| The wood blocks with carboxyl applied gained an average of 26.32 grams. The wood bricks with acetyl acetate applied gained an average of 33.77 grams. | RESULTS |
| Will ___________affect ______? | PROBLEM |
| If ___________ decreases, then ________ will decrease. | HYPOTHESIS |
| 1. Get 30 wood blocks 24 cm x 6 cm. 2. Apply 25 mL of carboxyl sealer to 10 of the wood blocks. 3. Allow to dry for 24 hours. 4. ….continued | PROCEDURE |
| -Contains numbers. -Usually refers to statistical analysis like average, mean, median, or range. | RESULTS |
| Occurrence that is noticed using senses but is not measured | OBSERVATION |
| may be qualitative or quantitative | OBSERVATION |
| The girl was crying. | OBSERVATION |
| The grass was wet in the morning so it must have rained. | INFERENCE |
| Conclusion based on logical reasoning | INFERENCE |
| The bird's babies were chirping because they were hungry | INFERENCE |
| The grass that was fertilized was a dark green | OBSERVATION |
| The grass was a darker green because it had been fertilized | INFERENCE |
| WILL THE COLOR OF LIGHT AFFECT THE MASS OF FOOD CHICKENS EAT? | PROBLEM |
| IF THE COLOR OF LIGHT CHANGES, THEN THE MASS OF FOOD CHICKENS EAT CHANGES. | HYPOTHESIS |
| INTERVIEW WITH FARMER BROWN ABOUT CHICKENS | RESEARCH |
| 1. OBTAINED TWO CHICKEN HOUSES THAT WERE THE SAME SIZE. 2. PUT 15 HENS IN EACH HOUSE. 3. PUT A BLUE LIGHT BULB IN ONE HOUSE AND A WHITE BULB IN THE OTHER HOUSE... | PROCEDURE/EXPERIMENT |
| THE CHICKENS WITH THE WHITE BULB AVERAGED EATING 40.23 KG OF FOOD PER DAY AND THE CHICKENS WITH THE BLUE BULB AVERAGED 37.89 KG OF FOOD PER DAY. | RESULTS |
| THE DATA COLLECTED INDICATED THE HYPOTHESIS SHOULD BE SUPPORTED. THERE WAS A MEASURABLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MASS OF FOOD EATEN WITH THE WHITE BULB COMPARED TO THE BLUE BULB. | CONCLUSION |
| USING RESOURCES TO LOOK UP BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT A PROBLEM | RESEARCH |
| A PROPOSED SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM | HYPOTHESIS |
| USUALLY HAS NUMBERED STEPS GIVING DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO COLLECT DATA | PROCEDURE/EXPERIMENT |
| NUMERIC OUTCOMES OF THE EXPERIMENT | RESULTS |
| WILL THE TYPE OF SURFACE AFFECT THE DISTANCE A TOY CAR TRAVELS? | PROBLEM |
| CHECKING OUT A WEBSITE REGARDING FRICTION | RESEARCH |
| AS THE TYPE OF SURFACE CHANGES, THEN THE DISTANCE TOY CAR WILL TRAVEL CHANGES | HYPOTHESIS |
| THE AVERAGE DISTANCE OF THE TOY CARS ON A SMOOTH SURFACE WAS 83 CM AND THE DISTANCE THE CARS TRAVELED ON SANDPAPER WAS 72 CM | RESULTS |
| INFERENCE | JERRY SAW A BRIGHTLY COLORED REPTILE ON HIS TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA. WHEN HE LOOKED UP REPTILES, HE FOUND THAT MOST BRIGHTLY COLORED REPTILES ARE POISONESS SO HE FIGURED THE SNAKE HE SAW WAS POISONESS |
| SCIENTIFIC QUESTION TO SOLVE | PROBLEM |
| USES RESEARCH TO HAVE AN IDEA ON THE OUTCOME | HYPOTHESIS |
