=Unit 1: The Scientific Method and Laboratory Safety =

Unit Vocabulary:
Hypothesis Conclusion Variable Beaker Graduated Cylinder

Unit Objectives:
1- Students will be able to identify and describe each step of the scientific method. 2- Students will be able to write a hypothesis statement 3- Students will be able to write a conclusion statement 4- Students will practice and demonstrate all safety rules

Steps of the Scientific Method:
1- Find a problem or question to investigate (ex: Why are my plants dying?) 2- Make a hypothesis or prediction (ex: If I do not water my plants, then they will die) 3- Conduct an experiment to test your prediction (ex: Have two boxes of plants, water one and do not water the other) 4- Analyze or look at your data (ex: Plant A (watered) is green and lush, Plant B (non watered) is brown and crisp) 5- Make a conclusion (ex: I accept my hypothesis because my watered plants are alive, while my non-watered plants are brown and dead) 6- Retest
