Criterion B: Inquiring & Designing

Name: _______________________ Date: ________________
Teachers: Ayman / Mirella Grade 9 : A B C

Task: Using the scientific method, you are to:

B.i. explain a problem or question to be tested by a scientific investigation.
B.ii. formulate a testable hypothesis and explain it using scientific reasoning.
B.iii. explain how to manipulate the variables, and explain how data will be collected.
B.iv. design scientific investigations.

Level The student is able to:

i. state a problem or question to be tested by a scientific investigation
ii. outline a testable hypothesis
1-2
iii. outline the variables
iv. design a method, with limited success
i. outline a problem or question to be tested by a scientific investigation
ii. formulate a testable hypothesis using scientific reasoning
3-4
iii. outline how to manipulate the variables, and outline how relevant data will be collected
iv. design a safe method in which he or she selects materials and equipment
i. describe a problem or question to be tested by a scientific investigation
ii. formulate and explain a testable hypothesis using scientific reasoning
iii. describe how to manipulate the variables, and describe how sufficient, relevant data will be
5-6
collected
iv. design a complete and safe method in which he or she selects appropriate materials and
equipment
i. explain a problem or question to be tested by a scientific investigation
ii. formulate and explain a testable hypothesis using correct scientific reasoning
iii. explain how to manipulate the variables, and explain how sufficient, relevant data will be
7-8
collected
iv. design a logical, complete and safe method in which he or she selects appropriate materials
and equipment

Inquiring:

B.i. Research Question: (An investigation into how the “independent variable” affects the
“dependent variable”).

B.ii. Hypothesis:

If I ______________ (increase, decrease, or change) the _______________ (State the IV),

then the __________ (State the DV) will _________ (increase, decrease, stay the same, or
change) because _________________________ (give a scientific explanation for your
hypothesis with citation you will transfer this to your references section at the end).

B.iii. Variables:

Independent Variable: _____________________ (Data Range).

Dependent Variable: ______________________ (How will I measure this).

Controlled Variables: _____________________ (How will I make sure these stay the same).

Designing:

B.iv. Procedure: Your procedure is a very detailed description of what you PLAN to do,

B.iv. Materials: The materials you need for your lab are very important be descriptive, such
as 10 mL graduated cylinder.
