WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD?
The scientific method are the steps you take when
conducting an experiment
There are six steps to the scientific method:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing research
3. Making a hypothesis
4. Test the hypothesis with a experiment
5. Analyze data for conclusion
6. Report the results
STEP ONE AND TWO
• Step one ask questions such as why, when, how, where, who or what to
something you have observed.
• The question has to be something you can solve.
• Step two do research, start looking on the Internet, journals, library to
get information and see past errors. So you wont repeat them!!!
STEP THREE AND FOUR
• Step three form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an educated guess to
answer your question
• Step four, test your hypothesis. Conduct an experiment to test your
hypothesis.
STEP 5
• Step 5 Analyze data for conclusion
• It is easier to understand the data if it is put into a table or graph.
Create a graph in Microsoft Excel and import it here.
• Make sure all data is clearly labeled.
STEP 6
• Step 6 form a conclusion, report results
• You need to indicate whether or not the data supports the hypothesis
and explain why or why not.
