In the main response, describe an example of how you use the scientific method in your daily life. As you decide on an example, think about the two or more scenarios that are being compared. You always need a control group.
Include the following in your description of your experiment:
· Your observations and relevant background information
· A detailed and specific hypothesis
· A description of how you are testing the hypothesis, with replication
· Hypothetical results
· A conclusion. Include whether or not the results support the hypothesis.
Identify the following in your experiment:
· Control and experimental groups
· Independent, dependent, and control variables (also called controlled variables or constants)
And finally,
· Briefly describe the part of the Scientific Method Tutorial that you found most useful.
· What do you find most challenging about the scientific method? If you still have questions, please ask.
Reply to at least two other students’ posts. Your replies should be substantial and contribute to their learning. Questions you can ask yourself when replying to other students’ posts:
· Did they include all the steps of the scientific method? If not, what is missing?
· Did they include and correctly identify the experimental and control groups?
· Did they correctly identify the 3 types of variables?
· Is their hypothesis specific enough?
· Does the proposed experiment test the hypothesis?
· If not, help them out. How could they improve upon their scientific method example?
· Help explain any part of the scientific method that they are still struggling with, and consider sharing additional resources that helped you.
