SCIENTIFIC METHOD
SCIENTIFIC METHOD




All scientists have burning
questions about the world
around them. To answer these
questions they follow a
structure called the scientific
method.
WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC
                        METHOD??




 The scientific
  method is a
series of steps
   that allows
  scientists to
    tests their
questions in an
organized way.
THE 7 STEPS OF THE SCIENTIFIC
          METHOD
STPE #1: ASK A QUESTION




What do you want to explore?
Ask a question about it.

• Choose something that is
  testable.

• Choose something that can
  be answered with a
  experiment.
STEP #2: RESEARCH YOUR
                           PROBLEM


What is already known about
your topic?

Look in books and on the
internet.

Define key words.
STEP #3: DEVELOP YOUR
                         HYPOTHESIS


What do you think the answer
to your question or problem
will be?

• A hypothesis is an educated
  guess based on knowledge
  or observation

• You must be able to
  experimentally test your
  hypothesis.
GOTCHA …..
While you were
at the store (lol)
STEP #4: WRITE YOUR
                                  PROCEDURE


•   Write the steps for how you will
    test your hypothesis.

•   List the materials you will need,
    including exact amounts of each
    item.

•   List each thing you will do.
    Number each step in order. Write
    down everything you will do.

•   Your procedure must be so detailed
    that another scientist could follow
    it.
STEP #5: TEST YOUR HYPOTHESIS



•   Get your materials, follow
    your procedure, and make
    observations.

•   While taking data, you
    should record qualitative
    and quantitative
    observations.
STEP #6: ORGANIZE YOUR DATA




• Record as much data as
  possible.

• Use your data to make
  graphs, charts, or tables.
STEP #7: STATE YOUR
                              CONCLUSION


What happened? Was it what you
expected? Why or why not?

In the conclusion, scientists answer
the question that the experiment
asked.

Look at your results and decide what
it tells you about your hypothesis.
Summarize your data.
