Science experiments lesson 29: The scientific method and fair tests · Set 592 · 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.🔬 How many steps are there in our scientific method (question to conclusion)?

22. 22.🛟 Which of these is an unsafe habit? (a) putting things in mouth (b) washing hands afterwards (c) asking an adult first (d) wiping up spills at once
23. 23.⚖️ Why do we change only one thing in a fair test? (a) to know what caused it (b) to make it fun (c) to use less paper (d) to finish faster
