A. Modify True or False: Write true if the statement is correct if it is false change
the underline word/phrase to make the statement true.

_____________1. An experimental group is a factor that is intentionally changed

during an experiment to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
_____________2. The analysis step use sets of observations to test a hypothesis.

_____________2. The dependent variable is the variable that is deliberately

changed during an experiment.
_____________4. A guess or idea we have before we do an experiment is called
a personal point of view.
_____________5. Data are numerical values recorded during an experiment or
observation.
_____________6. After forming a hypothesis, the next step in the scientific method
is conducting experiments.
_____________7. The analysis step in the scientific method typically occurs before
conducting experiments.
_____________6. Conclusions in the scientific method are based solely on the
scientist's initial hypothesis.
_____________9. In an experiment, a/an dependent variable is deliberately
change to test a hypothesis.
_____________1o. A scientific inquiry describes an observed pattern in nature.

B. Identify the steps in Scientific Method in each description:

_______________1. Sarah concludes that sunlight significantly impacts sunflower

growth, as her experiment shows that more sunlight results in taller sunflower
plants.
_______________2. Over a period of three months, Sarah measures the height of
the sunflowers in both groups and records the data. She observes that the
sunflowers in full sunlight have grown taller.

_______________3. Sarah's question is, "Does sunlight affect sunflower growth?"

_______________4. Sarah forms a hypothesis: "I hypothesize that more sunlight

leads to taller sunflowers."

_______________5. Sarah conducts an experiment by creating two groups of

sunflowers. One group is placed in full sunlight, while the other group is placed in
partial sunlight. All other factors, such as soil and water, are kept consistent.
_______________6. Sarah observes varying sunlight levels in her garden and
conducts research to understand sunflower growth preferences.

C. Identify independent, dependent variables, control, and experimental group

in the given situations:

1. Emma is conducting an experiment to determine how the amount of water

affects the growth of tomato plants in her garden.
Independent Variable: ____________________________________________________
Dependent Variable: ______________________________________________________

2. Daniel wanted to see how high an ice cube would float in different.
temperatures of water.
Independent Variable: ____________________________________________________
Dependent Variable: ______________________________________________________
Control Group: ____________________________________________________________

3. Hot water dissolves more sugar than cold water

Control Group: ____________________________________________________________
Experimental Group: _______________________________________________________

4. A group of researchers is conducting an experiment to test the effect of a new

drug on patients with a specific medical condition. They randomly assign 100
patients to two groups. Group A receives the new drug, while Group B receives
a placebo. Both groups are monitored for six months to assess any changes in
their condition.
Independent Variable: ____________________________________________________
Dependent Variable: ______________________________________________________
Control Group: ____________________________________________________________
Experimental Group: _______________________________________________________

5. Maria is conducting an experiment to investigate how three different types of

fertilizer (A, B and C) affect the growth of tomato plants.
Independent Variable: ____________________________________________________
Dependent Variable: ______________________________________________________
Control Group: ____________________________________________________________
Experimental Group: _______________________________________________________
