SCIENTIFIC

METHOD
Scientific method is a process for
experimentation that is used to
explore observations and answer
questions.
Here is a list of the steps of the
scientific method
 Make Observations
There are tons of everyday
activities that would make cool
science experiments using the
scientific method.
 Come Up With A Question
Your observations should lead you to
some questions. Your curiosity about
what happens next is a simple science
experiment perfect for using the
scientific method.
 Develop a Hypothesis
A hypothesis is not simply a guess! It’s
a statement of what you believe will
happen based on the information you
have gathered.
 Conduct An Experiment
Students should work individually or in
groups to answer the questions they
have been come up with.
 Record Results
Make sure to record what is happening
as well as the results. Note changes at
specific time intervals or after one set
time interval.
 Draw Conclusions
Make sure to record what is happening
as well as the results. Note changes at
specific time intervals or after one set
time interval.
 Results
After discussing the data with the class,
students should then consider whether
their hypotheses were proved correct
or incorrect and form a conclusion
based on their experiments.
