Scientific Method Review featuring Repetition & Replication
Directions:
Read each Experiment sample carefully. Answer the questions. Remember Repetition is subject to Multiple
trials by one experimenter and Replication is subject to other scientists repeating the same experiment
from scratch.
Experiment 1
After watching a nature show on television, Maria wondered if the color of the light bulb affected the
attraction of moths to an outside light. She had 4 colors of light bulbs, red, green, yellow, and blue. She
changed the color of the outside light bulb every 30 minutes, counting how many moths were attracted to
each color. She did this every night at 8 pm for 5 nights in a row.
