A. [The second step of the scientific method is the question being researched, the hypothesis.
It is the question that is turned into a statement about an event or object the scientist would
like to research. A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the
observations, it is able to be tested by other scientists, and it will usually predict new
outcomes or conclusions. The scientist observing the spider building the web may have a
question about the strength of the web.]

B. [The basic scientific method includes the steps scientists use and follow when trying to
solve a problem or prove or disprove a theory. The methods are used by scientists all over the
world. This is done so scientists can work together to solve some of the same problems.]
Part 1

C. [There are usually five steps which are a part of the scientific method. The steps can occur
in any order, but the first step is usually observation. An observation is the use of one or
more of the five senses, which include seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting. The five
senses are used to learn about or identify an event or object the scientist wants to study.]

D. [The final step in the scientific method is the conclusion. The conclusion will either clearly
support the hypothesis or it will not. If the results support the hypothesis a conclusion can be
written. If it does not support the hypothesis, the scientist may choose to change the
hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment.]

E. [In summary, the scientific method includes the steps scientists use to solve a problem or
to prove or disprove a theory. There are four basic steps involved with the scientific method.
The usual steps include observation, hypothesis, experiment, and conclusion. The steps
may not always be completed in the same order. Following the four steps, the results of the
experiment will either support the hypothesis or will not support the hypothesis. Scientists are
always free to change or write a new hypothesis and start the four steps all over again. The
scientific method is used for simple experiments or for more difficult experiments.]

F. [The third step of the scientific method is the experiment. An experiment is a test which
will either challenge or support the hypothesis. The hypothesis will then be true or false.
Often, even when a hypothesis is disproved much can still be learned during the experiment.]
