Gathering Data

Analyzing Data

• Observations that lead to asking questions

• Must be measurable/testable

• Must be an if…then statement, have an independent variable and increase/decrease

• Must be measurable/testable

• Decide on materials, safety codes, step-by-step procedures

• Variables:Dependent IndependentControlled

• Observations: Qualitative and Quantitative

• Measure, estimate, and calculate as the data is being collected

• Decide if you will use tables, charts, graphs, diagrams, and/or classify the data

• Is the hypothesis proven or disproven?

• Does it lead to the development of a new hypothesis or question?

• General to specific

• 3 M’s

• Intersect

• Interpolate and extrapolate

• Data trends or patterns

• Inferences related to data and background knowledge

• Sum up what was learned
