Scientific Method Scavenger Hunt 

Please visit the following websites, read carefully and respond to the questions.

Website 1: h​ ttp://www.biology4kids.com/files/studies_scimethod.html
Questions:
1. What is the scientific method?

● The Scientific Method is a process used by scientists to study the world around them
and test if a statement is accurate

● Question
● Hypothesis
● Experiment
● Observe/collect data
● Form conclusion
● Communicate results
2. What sample questions are given that science can answer?
● Why do dogs and cats have hair?
● What is that?
3. How does science allow the world to “advance, evolve and grow?”
● Science allows the world to “advance, evolve and grow” because all scientific

advancements have been made on achievements of other scientists, and so on, so our
knowledge of the world can “evolve and grow.”
4. What is the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning?
● Deductive reasoning is starting with specific facts and information and coming up with a
theory, while inductive reasoning is applying a theory into certain areas
Website 2: h​ ttp://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/balancing-act/latest/balancing-act_en.html
Questions:
1. Make some changes to the Lever.
2. What are the variables that you can change?
● Position of objects on each side
● Show mass labels, forces from object, and level of the Lever
● Measure of lever using ruler, Marks, or none

3. Conduct a simple experiment and discuss your basic results.
● Question: Will the Lever be balanced if you place the 10kg trash can on one side and the
two 5kg fire extinguishers on another side?

● Hypothesis: The Lever will be balanced if you place the trash can on an amount of
spaces from the fulcrum and the fire extinguishers on the same amount of spaces from
the fulcrum

● *Experiment*
● Results: The Lever was only balanced when you place the trash can 1 m away from the

fulcrum and the first fire extinguisher 0.5m away and the second 1.5m away from the
fulcrum
4. What were your observations?
● The two fire extinguishers were 1m apart
● The trash can was 1 m away from the fulcrum
● If you count in 0.5m intervals, the trash can is 2 intervals away from the fulcrum and the
fire extinguishers are 3 intervals away
● The weight of the trash can is double the weight of the fire extinguishers
● The trash can was 4 marks away from the fulcrum while the fire extinguishers were 4
marks away from each other
● The further an object goes away from the fulcrum, the more mass it has

Website 3: ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgS46ksAawk
Questions: Will a burnt candle, baking soda and vinegar, or just a oxygen preserve an
apple from oxidation?
1. Describe her basic experiment

Her experiment was inductive reasoning that focused on what would keep the apples
from browning the best, using a burnt candle, baking soda and vinegar, or just plain regular
oxygen
2. What are the variables?

● IV= Methods that will suck the oxygen away, thus decreasing oxidation of apples
● DV= Oxidation of Apples
3. Does she have Constants and a Control? Explain

She had Constants and a Control, her constants were to cover all the containers with
aluminum foil, a single slice of apple for each experiment, making sure the independent
variables did not affect the dependent variables, waiting for seven hours before examining, and
her Control was just a plain slice of apple left without any variables, so she could compare the
experimented results and the un-experimented results.
2. What were her results?

After seven hours, the apples weren’t as oxidized as she thought they would be, the
burnt candle had as much browning as the control, the baking soda and vinegar even had a bit

 more browning than the control, and the control had a little browning along the edge, and along

the side of the cut on the other side.

Reading #1: S​ cientific Serves​ by Chris Shayer  
 
Jim,  Jody,  and  Juan,  all  sixth  graders,  love  to  play  tennis  and  are  interested  in 

forming an interscholastic tennis team. To do so, they decide to hold tennis practice 

sessions during  

Period  H  every  day.  Mr.  M,  Mr.  P,  and  Mr.  S  agree  to  hold  tryouts  at  the  end  of 

October. Seeing as how this was their idea, Jim, Jody, and Juan want to make sure 

that  they  will  make  the  team.  To  ensure  their  placement  on  the  team,  they test to 

see which brand of tennis ball helps produce the fastest serve. Jim, Jody, and Juan 

believe  that  if  they  determine  the  ball  that  produces  the  fastest  serve,  they  will 

definitely make the tennis team because they will have an advantage over the other 

players.  Before  completing  the  experiment,  they  all  think  that  brand  X  tennis  balls 

will  bounce  the  highest  because  they  are the hardest to squeeze. Using brand X, Y, 

and  Z  tennis  balls,  they  decide to drop each ball from 15 meters above the ground 

onto a clay tennis court. They measure the height that each ball bounces and record 

this value in their data table. Jim, Jody, and Juan complete five trials for each tennis 

ball and record an average height in their data table. 

 
What is the independent variable in the experiment? 

Brand of tennis balls 
 
What is the dependent variable in the experiment? 

Height each brand of tennis ball bounces  
 
 
 

According to the passage, what was their hypothesis? 
Their hypothesis was that the brand X tennis balls will bounce the highest because 
they are the hardest to squeeze 
 
Name three constants involved in the experiment. 
1. Dropping each brand tennis ball at 15m above ground 

2. Using a clay tennis court 

3. Completing five trials for each tennis ball 

 

Reading #2: ​Perfect Pumpkins​ by Dina Rossi 
 
Alberta, Megan, and Tom are trying to grow the largest pumpkin for the state fair. 
They decide to use the greenhouse behind Mr. K’s room. They want to test which 
type of soil is best suited for growing pumpkins. Alberta, Megan, and Tom decide 
that if they can determine which type of soil is best suited to grow pumpkins, they 
will win the blue ribbon. Before completing the tests, they all think that potting soil 
will work the best because it contains plenty of organic material, which helps the soil 
hold water. They plant pumpkin seeds in regular dirt dug from behind the school, 
sandy soil found at Megan’s house, and store-bought potting soil. They fill three clay 
pots with the regular dirt and label them Pot A, Pot B, and Pot C. They also fill three 
clay pots with the sandy soil and label them Pot A, Pot B, and Pot C. Finally, they fill 
three clay pots with the potting soil and label them Pot A, Pot B, and Pot C. In each 
pot, they plant the same species of pumpkin seed, water them with the same 
amount of water, and place them in the greenhouse so that they all get the same 
amount of sunlight. After the pumpkins grow, they measure how much each 
pumpkin weighs from each type of soil and record their findings.

What is the independent variable in this experiment? 
Type of soil used for each pot 
 

What is the dependent variable in the experiment?  
Weight of each pumpkin grown from different soil  
 
What was the hypothesis that Alberta, Megan, and Tom came up with in their 
experiment?  
Their hypothesis was that potting soil would work the best for growing pumpkin 
seeds because it has plenty of organic material, which will help retain water 
 
What are three constants in this experiment?  
1. Same species of pumpkin planted in the soils  

2. Watering with same amount of water 

3. Placing all the pumpkins in greenhouse with same amount of sunlight 

Reading #3: ​Soil Absorption b​ y Steve Matyczyk 
 
Timmy, Tommy, and Tina want to plant a garden in the spring at their middle school. 
They have written a letter to Mr. B asking permission to use the land around the 
school for their garden. Mr. B. has agreed, but they can only use one area of the 
property for their garden. Before picking a spot, Tina, Tommy, and Timmy walk 
around the school to find the perfect location for the garden. Tina likes the spot 
behind the tennis courts, Tommy likes the spot behind the cafeteria, and Timmy 
wants the garden in the front of the school. All three of these areas are flat and 
receive the same amount of sunlight. Tina remembers working in the summer on her 
grandparents’ farm and her grandfather always saying, “To have a good crop you 
need good soil that holds lots of water.” To be fair to all, they agree to take samples 
of the soil at each spot and to perform an absorbency test to see which soil holds 
the most water. After taking the soil samples, they find that the front of the school 
has very sandy soil, the area around the tennis courts is made up of a clay-based 
soil, and the area behind the school consists of a soil that contains decomposed 
organic material from leaves, twigs, and grass clippings. After looking at the 

different types of soils, they all think that the clay-based soil will hold the most water 
and that the area behind the tennis courts will be the best place for the garden. To 
test for the absorbency of the water, they place 50 g of each soil into a funnel with 
filter paper. Underneath the funnel is a beaker that will catch the water that seeps 
through the soil. Next, they pour 100 mL of water into the soil and record the amount 
of water filtered and absorbed. They test each soil five times to be sure that their 
results are accurate.  
 
1. What is the independent variable in this experiment?  

Type of soil 
 
2. What is the dependent variable in the experiment? 

Amount of water that each soil absorbs  
  
3. What was the hypothesis that Timmy, Tommy, and Tina came up with in their 
experiment? 

Their hypothesis was that the clay-based soil would hold the most water and that 
the tennis court will be the best place for the garden 
 
4. What are three constants in this experiment? 

1. 50 g of each soil in the soil absorbency test  

2. Test absorbency of each soil five times 

3. Pour 100 mL of water into the soil  
 
Reading #4: ​Streambed Erosion​ by Shawn Pelletier 
 
“I feel that the sand will erode the least,” stated Jim. Jim and Sally were having a 
discussion about which type of sediment that made up the bed of Wakooie Stream 

would erode the least over time. “I think the small rocks at the bottom of the stream 
will erode the least because they are heavier than the sand,” said Sally. “The sand is 
going to erode the least because it is packed at the bottom of the stream, giving the 
sand particles extra strength to stay in place. I’m correct and you are wrong!” said 
Jim. Jim and Sally decided to investigate which type of particle at the bottom of 
Wakooie Stream would erode the least. Jim and Sally developed a test to see who 
was right. Jim and Sally took three different sediments from the streambed: sand 
particles, small rock particles, and large rock particles. They collected 100 mL of 
each sediment. Next, Jim and Sally took a 4-foot plastic container with sides and 
propped one side of the container onto three blocks of wood that measured 5 
inches in height. This created a ramp. Seven inches from the top of the ramp, Sally 
drew a square box. The square box that Sally drew was where they would place the 
sediment during each trial. Meanwhile, Jim measured 1,000 mL of tap water. Jim and 
Sally did the experiment once the materials were collected. First they placed the 100 
mL of sand sediment in the square that was drawn by Sally. Then they poured the 
1,000 mL of tap water from the top of the container, allowing the tap water to run 
into the sediment as it traveled downhill. The water was acting like the flow of a 
stream in this investigation. When the water came to a stop at the bottom of the 
container, Sally and Jim placed the soil that did not wash away (the soil remaining in 
the square Sally drew) into a 100 mL beaker and measured how much soil had been 
eroded away. Each type of sediment was tested three times in this manner. After 
each trial was conducted, Jim and Sally found the average for how much soil 
eroded away and discovered which sediment eroded the least and which sediment 
eroded the most.  
 
1. What was Jim’s hypothesis in the experiment?  

Jim’s hypothesis was that sand eroded away the least because it is compressed at 
the bottom of the stream, giving it more strength and therefore making it less 
susceptible to eroding away 

 
2. What is the independent variable?  

Type of sediment from Wakooie Stream 
 
3. What is the dependent variable?  

Amount of sediment that eroded away over time  

4. Name three constants in the experiment.  

1. 100 mL of each sediment into the square box  
2. 1,000 mL of water poured down the ramp into the square box 
3. Testing experiment 3 times

Conclusion:  
Purpose, Hypothesis, Description, Data or evidence, Improvements, Conclusion 
 

In conclusion, the purpose of this experiment was to test if the amount of caffeine will 
make people more alert. Our hypothesis was, the more caffeine you drank, the more alert 
you were. We can test this using a video game, which specifically stimulates a person’s 
alertness, and then read their resulting score, and the higher it is, the more alert the player 
was. As you can see from the data table and graph, people who drank a beverage 
containing 20g of caffeine did the best, while people who drank a beverage with 30g of 
caffeine did the worst. This heavily contrasted against our original hypothesis because it 
turned out, more caffeine does make you more alert in the beginning, but if you take too 
much, you can become less alert and end up being lethargic. Some improvements we 
could’ve made was to make sure that some of the testers did not have any background 
information or ability at the game, because it might affect the outcome of the experiment if 
more people were better at the game than others. To sum up, more caffeine does make you 
more alert, but a strong amount eventually wears off and makes you less alert than people 
who don’t take it in the first place.  

 

Cassini Spacecraft Article Summary 

“Back to saturn? Five Missions proposed to

follow Cassini”  

Ever since the farewell of NASA’s famous spacecraft Cassini, it has solved 
unknown mysteries, taking captivating pictures of Saturn’s rings and moons, and 
most importantly, bringing back a series of new questions. In a latest round of 
scientific competition called​ New Frontiers​, which tries to obtain ideas for future 
missions from scientists and engineers, each have their own destination. But it’s clear 
that in order to figure out our unanswered, we need to explore more of the solar 
system.

Density 

 

The density of an object depends on its mass and volume 

Mass ​= Amount of matter in the object 
Volume​ = Amount of space that object takes up in 3D 

 

How does Density relate to Plate Tectonics? 

Plate Tectonics are the motions of the Earth’s tectonic plates, that can have a 
large impact on Earth in forming mountains.  

Density relates to Plate Tectonics because the tectonic plates rely on the 
varying densities in order to move. According to I​ ntroduction to Geological Sciences 
Week 9, “​ In the mantle, density differences are a function of variations in 
temperature. Warm areas expand and become less dense (more buoyant) than 
their surroundings and rise. Cold areas are 
more dense and thus sink. This density-driven 
rising and sinking is a process of convection.” 
Without the process of convection, Earth’s 
tectonic plates would not move, therefore 
completely stop the movement of Plate 
Tectonics.  

Plate Tectonics relate to the metal 
density experiment because they depend on 
density to function. Without the variations in 
temperature that act like density differences, 
convection currents would not form and therefore the process of Plate Tectonics 
would not exist. The same holds true for the metal density experiment. There was no 
virtual way to find out what metal each object was because you didn’t know 
anything about it except for its density. Only through comparison of densities could 
you find out the answer. To conclude, both Plate Tectonics and the metal density 
experiment made use of density.

c. M = 283.23 mL 

5. A student finds a rock on the way to school. In the laboratory he determines 
that the volume of the rock is 34.5 cm​3​, and the mass is 48.3 g. What is the 
density of the rock? 
a. D = M/V 
b. D = 48.3 g/34.5 cm​3 
c. D = 1.4 g/cm​3 

Density Reflection 

The purpose of the experiment was to find out what the unknown set of metals were 
by calculating the density of the samples and comparing them to known values for the 
metals. The hypothesis was: ‘if density is known then unknown metals can be correctly 
identified because every metal has its own density.’ Because in order to to find density, you 

need to know the mass and volume, so we measured the mass on a scale and then used the 
water-displacement method to find the volume, and from there on calculated the density. 
We then conducted the same experiment following the same procedure the next day with 
the other set of metals. As you can see from our data, without knowing the density of an 
object, it is impossible to find out which metal is which, because every object has its own 
density, and that is the only information you know about the objects. In the end, by finding 
the density of every metal and comparing it to the official density found online, we were 
able to discover what the unknown metals were. 

Phase Changes of Water Activity  

Critical Thinking Questions:

1. When did the temperatures stay the same on the graph? Why did the temperatures stay
the same at 2 points during the lab?
The temperature stayed the same during the first and last section of the graph, and this is
because it takes extra joules to convert one matter into a different one, which is why we
need to use formulas such as Heat of Fusion and Heat of Vaporization

2. How would the graph be different if we tried this experiment with Gold? Explain:
The graph would be different because since the density of Gold would differ from water, it
takes a different amount of joules needed to change the states of gold.

3. What is the role of energy during the phase changes?
The role of energy during phase changes is to change the molecules inside an element,
either by adding heat or cooling, which creates a new state of matter

4. Describe the motion of the molecules
throughout the experiment. Find
diagrams that show the motion.
When a substance starts out solid, the
molecules are tight, compact, and move
only slightly. But as more energy is
added, the molecules start moving around
more and this breaks the solid structure, and thus turns into a liquid state, and as even
more energy is increased, the molecules separate completely and float around each other.

Questions:
1. How are the substances different?
a. The substances are different because because they are made out of
contrasting molecular structures
2. What is the difference between Heat and Temperature?
a. Heat is the amount of energy that flows from one object to another, and
temperature is the degree or intensity of heat of an object
3. Place your Heat Energy results in Scientific Notation
a. Gold(2.4505 * 10​4​)
b. Aluminum(1.625 * 10​5 ​cal)
c. Water(3.51 * 10​4)​
4. Why do metals have such low specific heats? How does this relate to Conductors?
a. Metals have low specific heats because it takes less energy for metals to
absorb heat and change the structure of its molecules, and this relates to
conductors because conductors are substances that absorb heat very well
without producing as much energy as substances that are not conductors.

5. How are Heat and Temperature different for the following pictures of​ ​boiling

water? Explain:​ (Hint: Use the Heat equation)

Heat and temperature are different for the following pictures of boiling water because the
picture with the boiling water ocean will have more heat and a higher temperature than the
boiling water contained in a beaker, because according to the heat equations, the more mass
an object has, the more heat it uses to reach it to the boiling point, and thus, the temperature

 and heat must be higher/greater than something with less mass.

Questions:

1. How are Heat and Temperature different for the following pictures of​ ​boiling​ w​ ater?

Explain:​ (Hint: Use the Heat equation)

Heat and Temperature are different for the following pictures of boiling water because
even though the temperature is the same, the amount of heat required is different, because an

ocean of boiling water has more mass than a beaker of boiling water, so according to the heat
equation, it requires more energy because the mass is heavier, so therefore needs more heat to
turn it into boiling water.

2. How can you use the unit (cal/gC) to explain the difference between Water and Silver?
You can use the unit (cal/gC) to explain the difference between Water and Silver

because that unit measures the amount of energy needed to heat or freeze an object, so you
can use the different amounts to compare and contrast the changes in energy in Water and
Silver.

3. Would it be possible for there to be solid oxygen on another planet? Explain:
Oxygen Melting Point: -218 C
Oxygen Boiling Point: -183 C

It may be possible for there to be solid oxygen on another planet, but then the planet’s
environment would have to be very, very, cold, because oxygen is naturally a gas at room
temperature and for it to change into a solid phase it would have to undergo a freezing process
that would bring the surrounding area to temperatures extremely low.

IV. Conclusion:
1. Explain the difference between Mixtures and Compounds using data. Compare the pie

charts.
The difference between mixtures and compounds is that mixtures are

combinations of chemical solutions while compounds are combinations of elements that
usually have the same ratio of elements combined together. For example, lemonade is
just a combination of lemon juice, sugar, and water. They don’t have a fixed ratio.
However, the compound Na3​ ​PO​4 ​will always have the same amount of sodium,
phosphorus, and oxygen no matter the amount or size of the compound. The first two pie
charts depict the amount of each material in percentages from two heterogeneous
mixtures, while the last two depict the amount of each material in percentages from two
compounds. No matter the percentage amount of any material in the first two pie charts,
the mixture will still be heterogeneous. In contrast, even a slight change of the
percentage of elements that make up a compound in the last two charts can change its
form.
2. E​ xplain how you separated the Salt from the Sand. Use as much new vocabulary as you
can.

I separated the salt from the sand by using a coffee filter and pouring water so it
can act like a solvent and catch all the salt compounds. Once the water and salt mixture
had been collected into a beaker, the salt was starting to dissolve into the water since it’s
a solute, so I had to place it on a hot plate to heat up the water in order to separate it from
the salt. Since the water has a higher boiling point, it was evaporated first and what was
left behind was the salt.

Critical Thinking Questions: 

1. How does the solubility of NaCl vary with the temperature of the water? 
Explain using your data and your graph.  

The  solubility  of  NaCI  varies  with  the  temperature  of  the  water,  when  the  water 
temperature  increases,  the quality of solubility also increases, in small increments that when graphed, 
create  a  line  with a relatively flat slope. In addition, using the data table above, you can clearly see 
that  when  the  water  temperature  increases,  the  solubility goes up, though only a few compared to 
the  other  chemical compounds. Thus, the graph and the data table both prove that the solubility of 
NaCI varies, and increases slightly, with the temperature of the water.  

 

1. What generalization can you make about the relationship between solubility 
and temperature? ​Provide Evidence (Data) 

From my assumption, the relationship between solubility and temperature is that 
when the temperature of a solvent increases, so does the solubility of the solute, and when 
solvent temperature decreases, so does solubility, though it is to be kept in mind that every 
compound has its own unique rate of change between temperature of the solvent and 
solubility. For example, approximately 33 g of Ammonium Chloride dissolves at 10 ○​ ​C in 100 g 
of water, and at 20 ○​ C​ , around 37 g of Ammonium Chloride can dissolve in 100 g of water. So 
when temperature increases, so does the solubility of a solute. 
 

 

Solubility Curve Practice Problems Worksheet 1 

You'll notice that for most substances, solubility increases as temperature increases. 
As discussed earlier in solutions involving liquids and solids typically more solute can 
be dissolved at higher temperatures. Can you find any exceptions on the graph?

in 100g (or 100mL) of water.

2.   

A. At 90°C, you dissolved 10 g of KCl in 100 g of water. Is this solution saturated 

or unsaturated? 

a. Unsaturated 

B. How do you know?  

a. If you look at the graph above, you can see that the saturation level for 
KCI at 90°C is around 52 g, so for only 10 g, there is not enough solute 
for the solution to be saturated. 10 g of KCI it lies below the saturation 
level, thus it is unsaturated.  

3. A mass of 100 g of NaNO​3​ is dissolved in 100 g of water at 80ºC.   

A. Is the solution saturated or unsaturated? 

a. Unsaturated 

B. As the solution is cooled, at what temperature should solid first appear in the 
solution? Explain.  

a. Solid should first appear in the solution when the temperature starts to 
go below approximately 35°C. Since solid forms in a solution when it 
becomes supersaturated, the goal is to look at the graph and find the 
place where 100 g of NaNO3​ ​ is above the saturation level for the 
solution, because a solution is supersaturated when there is too much 
solute and the temperature is too low. The only place where the 
solution can be supersaturated is if the temperature goes below 
approximately 35°C.  

4. Use the graph to answer the following two questions:

Vocabulary:​ Unsaturated, saturated, supersaturated, Ions, Heat, Temperature, grams, 
solubility, chemical formula 
 

According to the solubility graph, the point that is being shown is supersaturated, 
meaning that there is too much solute of the solvent to dissolve at 15 C, the given 
temperature. In detail, there are so many ions of the solute that they all can’t combine with 
the solvent’s ions, so they settle, or precipitate, at the bottom. In order to make the solution 
saturated, you either need to decrease the amount of solute to 25g or increase heat and 
temperature to 38 C. In conclusion, the solution is supersaturated, and the only ways to solve 
that is to decrease the amount of solute or increase the temperature by a certain amount 
according to the solubility graph.
