Variables and Hypotheses in the Scientific Method
Explore variables and hypotheses in the scientific method. Learn how to write a hypothesis and test it in experiments.
00:00:02 This video discusses the importance of identifying the independent and dependent variables in a scientific experiment. Water's impact on plant growth is used as an example.
The scientific question identifies the independent and dependent variables in an experiment.
The independent variable is the manipulated variable in an experiment, such as the amount of water provided to plants.
The dependent variable is the data that is collected in an experiment, such as plant growth.
00:01:06 This video discusses variables and hypothesis in the scientific method, using examples such as studying's effect on test scores and caffeine's impact on blood pressure.
🔑 The dependent variable is what is measured to determine results.
🔑 The independent variable is the one that can be directly controlled or changed by the scientist.
🔑 Examples of dependent and independent variables include studying and test scores, and caffeine and blood pressure.
00:02:10 Learn about variables and hypothesis in the scientific method. Understand how to write a hypothesis using the if-then format.
🔬 The dependent variable can be directly controlled or changed by the scientist.
☕ Caffeine is used as the independent variable in the experiment.
💡 A hypothesis is an educated guess that answers the scientific question.
00:03:17 Learn how to formulate a hypothesis by making specific predicted outcomes based on different variables and test them in scientific experiments.
📚 The scientific method involves formulating hypotheses to answer scientific questions.
🌱 Predicting outcomes based on specific variables is an important part of the scientific method.
📝 The key to a hypothesis is phrasing and formulating it correctly, rather than getting the right answer.
