Summary Notes (If questions below seem confusing then review these linked notes)
Which general step of the scientific method matches closest with each example below.
Example: Take measurements of the height and foot length of various students.
Write out which step of the scientific method below matches closest with each example below.
Example: What is the relationship between the foot size of a person and their height?
Which step of the scientific method below matches closest with each example below.
Example: Aftering plotting the height and foot length values of various students on a graph then study the data to see if there are any patterns in the data.
Which step of the scientific method below matches closest with each example below.
Example: Based on our data, as the area of the underside of the aluminum boat increased so did the number of pennies the boat could hold before sinking. The maximum sinking weight was 180. 2 grams of pennies.
Which step of the scientific method below matches closest with each example below.
Example: How does my measurements compare to Rhode Island University's measurements?
Which step of the scientific method below matches closest with each example below.
Example: Fill a container with water and put your boat in it. Start adding pennies to your boat. Count the number of pennies in the aluminum boat after it sinks.
Which step of the scientific method below matches closest with each example below.
Example: Calculate the height-to-foot ratio of your measurements by dividing your height by your foot length.

The distance travelled and travel time data of the rolling ball are divided in order to calculate the average speed of the rolling ball.
Mr. Mazza places a tennis ball at the top of a ramp and releases it letting it roll down the ramp.
As the tennis ball rolls down the ramp the student wonders to themself about what affect might a heavier ball have on the ball rolling results.
After comparing the ball rolling results for balls of different weights the student emails the results to a fellow physics teacher. In the email the student explains the results.
During each trial of a ball of different weight rolling down the ramp Mr. Mazza sets up the same ramp then collects the distance and time data.
