in general what would a scientist do after forming a testable question
a: design and experiment
b: develop a hypothesis ***
c: draw a conclusion
d: analyze data
If an experiment disproves a scientists hypothesis what should the scientist do next
a: develop a testable question
b: revise a hypothesis and try the experiment again
c: develop a theory based on the data ***
d: change the dependent variable
a science teacher was curious to see wheather offering money for good grades would increase student performance in a test the teacher offered half the students in the class $5 if they got an a on their next test the other half of the class was not offered any money what is the independent variable in this experiment
a: the number of questions on quiz
b: the number of students in class
c: the students grade in test***
d: the amount of money offered
first two good, last one, isn't the student's grade the Dependent variable?
After forming a testable question, a scientist would typically proceed to design an experiment. This involves planning the specific steps and procedures necessary to test the question in a controlled and systematic manner.
If an experiment disproves a scientist's hypothesis, the scientist should revise the hypothesis and try the experiment again. This allows the scientist to refine and adjust their initial idea based on the new information obtained from the experiment.
In the experiment where a science teacher offers money for good grades, the independent variable is the amount of money offered. This variable is intentionally manipulated by the teacher to observe its effect on the students' performance. The dependent variable, in this case, would be the students' grades in the test.
