Question

match the following components of the scientific method to their definitions. 17. b result a. states the question. you try to find its answer through an experiment. 18. e hypothesis b. tells what happened when you did your experiment. 19. d conclusion c. shows the steps you took to do your experiment. 20. a problem d. tries to explain why your result happened. also tries to explain why your hypothesis may have been incorrect. 21. c procedure e. prediction to the question asked. use the letter to the right to match the words on the left. 1. control a) using a set of observations to test a hypothesis. 2. conclusion b) an idea about the system being examined. 3. hypothesis c) the numerical values recorded during an experiment or observation. 4. experiment d) a decision based on the results from an experiment. 5. variable e) a well - supported set of observations and explanations of natural events. 6. data f) set of observations for reference and comparison to show that the experimental results are valid. 7. theory g)

Explanation:

The scientific - method components are matched based on their typical definitions. A result tells what happened during an experiment. A hypothesis is a prediction to the question asked. A conclusion tries to explain the result and the validity of the hypothesis. A problem states the question. A procedure shows the steps of the experiment. For the second part, a control is a set of observations for reference in an experiment; a hypothesis is an idea about the system being examined; data are the numerical values recorded during an experiment or observation; an experiment uses a set of observations to test a hypothesis; a variable can change in an experiment; a theory is well - supported by observations and natural events.

Answer:

1. B. Tells what happened when you did your experiment.
2. E. Prediction to the question Asked.
3. D. Tries to explain why your result happened. Also tries to explain why your hypothesis may have been incorrect.
4. A. States the question. You try to find its answer through an experiment.
5. C. Shows the steps you took to do your experiment.
6. f. Set of observations for reference and experimental to show that the experiment
7. d. A decision based on the results from an experiment
8. b. An idea about the system being examined
9. a. Using a set of observations to test a hypothesis
10. (No match in provided options as description for variable is missing in the list)
11. c. The numerical values recorded during an experiment or observation
12. e. A well - supported set of observations and natural events
