Warm Up
• Match the following stages of a robbery
investigation to the steps of the scientific
method:
• Gathering clues – making observations
• Interrogating suspects –testing the hypothesis
• Realizing that a crime has taken place and
wondering who did it - Asking a question
• Solving the crime -drawing a conclusion
• Determining suspects – forming a hypothesis
Warm Up – Write the questions and
answer in your own words
• 1. Why do scientists ask questions?
• 2. What can scientists do if their tests do not
support their hypothesis?
• 3. Why do scientists draw conclusions about
their results?
Warm Up – Write the questions and
answer in your own words
• 1. Why do scientists ask questions? To focus
the purpose of an investigation
• 2. What can scientists do if their tests do not
support their hypothesis? They may repeat
investigations to check for errors.
• 3. Why do scientists draw conclusions about
their results? To see if their results matched
their hypothesis.
