What else can I help you with?
What is the point of doing experiments?
Scientists do experiments to see what is going to happen. First, they make a hypothesis or guess about what they think will happen. Then, they do an experiment to see if their guess is right or wrong.
True or false If your experiment does not support your hypothesis you should change your data to give support to the hypothesis?
False- The hypothesis is your prediction of what you expect to happen. If the data does not agree with your hypothesis you simply explain why your hypothesis did not come true and possibly investigate variable which would allow your hypothesis to come true.
If the data from an experiment does not support your hypothesis can you revise it or come up with a new one?
Yes. That's the whole point of experiments. If you reckon something will happen, but it doesn't then you have to change your hypothesis. Or your experimental method. Which is why scientists self regulate by publishing claims that other scientists then try to recreate or disprove. Or even just criticise your methods.If your data doesn't support your hypothesis, but you doggedly stick to it anyway, you've created religion.
What do you have to do before you perform your experiment?
You want to have a hypothesis to test. A hypothesis is kind of like a reasoned guess what you expect to happen. The results of your experiment will either support your hypothesis or it wont.
What does the scientific method consist of?
The scientific method is a series of steps taken to answer a question (usually used for scientific experiments). The steps basically are: 1) ask a question 2) Do research on the subject 3) State your hypothesis (educated guess of what you think will happen) 4) Test hypothesis with an experiment 5) Analyze results and draw a conclusion 6) Is the hypothesis true or untrue? 7) Record/report your results I found this info at: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentoring/project_scientific_method.shtml

What is a good hypothesis for insects light vs heat?
A hypothesis is a prediction on what you think will happen. For experiments on insects being attracted to light or heat, a hypothesis could be that insects are attracted to light over heat.
How scientist try to answer questions that cannot be tested with experiments?
To answer a specific question, scientist form a hypothesis. If the hypothesis cannot be testable or answered, they'll give you a prediction of what will most likely happen from the results of the hypothesis.
True or false If your experiment does not support your hypothesis you should change your data to give support to the hypothesis?
False- The hypothesis is your prediction of what you expect to happen. If the data does not agree with your hypothesis you simply explain why your hypothesis did not come true and possibly investigate variable which would allow your hypothesis to come true.

If your experiment does not support your hypothesis then you should change your data to support your hythesis?
No. It just means that what you hypothesized would happen didn't. You shouldn't change anything. A hypothesis is simply a guess on what will happen, so if your guess isn't true that's okay.
List and describe three steps of the scientific method?
The first three steps of the scientific method are the hypothesis, prediction and testing. You hypothesis is what your educated guess about the experiment. Your prediction is what you think will happen and the testing is actually performing the experiment.
What is a logical statement about what will happen in an experiment if the hypothesis is supported?
If the hypothesis is supported in an experiment, the expected outcome or result predicted by the hypothesis will likely be observed. This would provide evidence to validate the hypothesis and support the initial reasoning or explanation provided.
What is the relationship between a hypothesis and a prediction?
A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon, while a prediction is a statement about an expected outcome based on the hypothesis. The hypothesis guides the prediction by suggesting what might happen in a given situation. Predictions are then tested to determine if they support or refute the hypothesis.
What part of a scientific experiment is the hypothesis?
The hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested through experiments. It is typically stated at the beginning of an experiment and serves as a basis for making predictions and designing the study.
