Biology I Date: __________

Directions: Complete the chart and determine if the following experiment is valid or invalid. Experiment: Daqwuan wanted to know what type of dog food would make his dogs coat shiny. He fed his dog some Food Lion Brand dog food and saw that his dogs coat was less shiny. He concluded that Food Lion Brand dog food was the worst dog food to feed his dog.

Activity 1: Term 1 Review OBSERVATION, INFERENCE, AND SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS Directions: Make observations and inferences about the picture: 1. Qualitative Observation: 2. Quantitative Observation: 3. Inference: Directions: Determine if the following questions can be answered scientifically. Remember, in order for a question to be answered scientifically it must be measurable 1. How afraid is the Jesus Lizard when it runs across the water? Circle one: Can be answered scientifically Cannot be answered scientifically

2. How fast can the Jesus Lizard run? Circle one: Can be answered scientifically Cannot be answered scientifically

3. How does the length of the lizards tail affect its speed on the water? Circle one: Can be answered scientifically Cannot be answered scientifically

SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY AND SOURCES 1. Which of the following is ALWAYS the most reliable source of scientific information? A. A website B. A textbook C. A newspaper D. A scientific journal

2. Write a definition for the following words: VALID: _________________________ INVALID: _______________________

3. Each of the following experiments is INVALID. Read the description of the experiment, and explain why it is invalid: A. Corwyn wants to know what type of birdseed will attract the most birds to his bird feeder. He sets up three feeders in three different locations, at three different times, at three different heights, each with a different type of bird seed. Why is this experiment invalid? __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ B. Monique hypothesizes that a large snow storm will decrease the number of squirrels in the woods behind her house. After a large snow storm she counts the number of squirrels in the woods behind her house. Why is this experiment invalid? __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 4. In a controlled experiment, how many things (variables) should the scientist change on purpose? ________ 5. Ben wants to know if his goldfish grow faster when fed the original, dry food, or the new, wet food. Use the space below to draw a picture of an experiment Ben could do to answer this question: Tank 1 Tank 2

Directions: Read the description of the experiment below. Identify the five important parts of an experiment by filling in the chart. Latoya is trying to find out how what pH will make her bean seed sprout the fastest. She puts one bean bead into a solution with a pH of 2, one bean into a solution with a pH of 12; and one bean into a solution with a pH of 7. She puts all the beans in full sunlight at room temperature and records how long it takes each bean to sprout.
