Science experiments lesson 29: The scientific method and fair tests · Set 400 · 40 questions

What you do (Ask, guess, test, see, say): 1. Ask a question that an experiment can test. 2. Make a hypothesis: “I think … because …”. 3. Plan a fair test — change one thing, keep the rest the same, decide what to measure — then do it with an adult. 4. Observe and record, then draw a conclusion and share it honestly.

1. 1.True or false: asking an adult first is an unsafe habit. (a) False (b) True
2. 2.🔬 How many steps are there in our scientific method (question to conclusion)?

16. 16.True or false: “Which paper shape holds the most coins?” is the question step. (a) True (b) False
17. 17.⚖️ Why do we change only one thing in a fair test? (a) to use less paper (b) to make it fun (c) to finish faster (d) to know what caused it
