Storyboard Text
- Question
- Wow my apples look sad this year.
- Research
- It says that the amount of water affects the size!
- Hypothesis
- An observation is made and a question is asked.
- Why are they so small and discolored?
- Research is done to see what factors may have affected the outcome - in this case, the apple's size.
- Also known as an educated guess, a hypothesis can be proved or disproved.
- They didn't grow well because we didn't get a lot of rain.

- Scientific Method
- Analysis
- Experiment
- Same amount of light
- Review your data and see if it proves or disproves your hypothesis - since the apples grew better with more water, the farmer's hypothesis was proved.
- Recording the data from your experiment - the tree receiving 1L of water grew better than the tree receiving 0.5L of water.
- 0.5L of water
- 1.0L of water
- A procedure is designed to test your hypothesis. Here, the farmer tests how an apple tree grows with varying amounts of water in a controlled setting.
- Controlled amount of water
