This 4 page worksheet on the steps of the scientific method is packed with problem solving and critical thinking examples and problems. There are questions of varying difficulty levels, ranging from simple to complex. The student will do more than just list the steps of the scientific method. The student will be required to apply their understanding in many of the questions.
Type of questions include: defining, short answer, modified true/false, multiple choice and fill in the blanks. Students will be asked to identify control groups, experimental groups, independent variables and dependent variables in a variety of scenarios.
This document makes an excellent homework assignment. When completed and corrected, it makes an excellent test study guide.
All answers are included.
You will receive both an editable Word document as well as a pdf form of the worksheet.
