Today in class we discussed the scientific method as a process and described the different steps involved in it. We ran two hypothetical experiments to better understand some of the vocabulary that goes along with the scientific method and know how to perform an experiment properly.
Two in-class assignment were given on the topic (Controls and Variables - Part 1, Bikini Bottom Experiments).
The homework for the class is to design an experiment to test an advertiser's claim on a commercial product. This can be anything that you see advertised on television, on the internet, or in magazines.
The vocabulary for this section is as follows:
accuracy, constant, control, dependent variable, hypothesis, independent variable, law, model, observation, peer review, precision, reliability, scientific notation, Le Systeme International D'Unites, theory, validity, variables
