Scientific method

Steps to Scientific method.                                                 

Ask a Question: The scientific method starts when you ask a question about something that you observe: How, What, When, Who, Which, Why, or Where?

Do Background Research: Rather than starting from step 1 by putting together a plan for answering your question, you want to do research to help you find the best way to do things and insure that you don't repeat mistakes from the past.

Construct a Hypothesis:   A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work. It is an attempt to answer your question with an explanation that can be tested.

"If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen." 

Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment: Experiment with your tests whether your prediction is accurate and thus your hypothesis is supported or not. Make sure that you change only one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.

Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion: 

Once your experiment is complete, you collect your measurements and analyze them to see if they support your hypothesis or not.

Communicate Your Results: To complete your project you will communicate your results to others in a final report. ( some professional scientist do this by publishing their final report in a scientific journal or during a scientific meeting

Reflection

_____________________________________________

I loved working on this project, despite not knowing much about the steps to scientific method. I had a good time researching and learning about this topic. It was very easy to understand.
