Why is the sky blue?
Earth is surround in something called
an atmosphere
1. Scientific Inquiry Notes 2018.notebook

The atmosphere is filled with different
particles like air (O2), carbon dioxide
(CO2), Nitrogen (N), and etc.
These particles allow all color light pass
through them except the color blue
Like a mirror that reflects all color light,
these air molecules reflect the blue color.
The blue color scatter. The blue color light
bounces off numerous particles and colors
the sky blue.

*experiments must be repeatable!
*experiments must be repeatable!
Have 2 plants that are the same. both given
the same amount of sunlight, soil, amount of
liquids, all given at the same time. The only
thing that changes is the type of liquid.
One gets milk and one gets water

Independent variable = the one
factor that gets changed
What is the one thing I am changing
between these two plants?

"based on our data, we can conclude that....."
correct?

your
hypothesis was
You re-think a new hypothesis and do the
experiment again!
Why do you think it is important to only
have 1 factor that changes?
for example, different amount of sun
light and different liquids?

We wont be able to tell what actually
caused the plant to grow, amount of sun
light or type of fluid.
that is why we only test for 1 thing
