Scientific Method Word Search
This scientific method word search follows the steps in order, from question and observation to hypothesis, experiment, analysis and conclusion, with the words that keep a test fair: the independent variable, the control group and the constant.
A hypothesis has to be testable, which means some result could prove it wrong. It is often written as an if and then sentence: if plants get more light, then they will grow taller. In a fair test you change only one thing, the independent variable, and measure the one that responds, sometimes called the dependent variable. Everything else stays constant, and a control group with no change gives you something to compare against.
The method was built over centuries. Around 1021 the Arab scholar Ibn al-Haytham tested ideas about light with experiments in a dark room instead of trusting older books. In 1620 Francis Bacon argued that knowledge should come from careful observation and experiment. Philosophical Transactions, the journal of the Royal Society in London, began in 1665 and is still printed, which makes it the oldest science journal in the world.
