Planning an Investigation

Class, here is a link to a document on how to plan a scientific investigation. It goes over all the steps of the Scientific Method, please review it --> Planning an Investigation

Here are some notes from class that are important: 

A question is testable if it can be answered through investigations that involve experiments, observations, or surveys. You have to be able to observe or measure the collected data.


Effect and affect are 2 common words used when writing a Research Question.
effect- the result of something (noun)
affect- means to influence something (verb)
Examples: What is the effect of drinking too much soda?                  How does working out affect your body?

Method. This first video is excellent because it goes over the
steps of the Scientific Method and how the steps can be in a 
different order sometimes, depending on the experiment itself. 
Check it out and you'll see what I mean: 



This second video is a song that reviews the Scientific Method too:
