The Scientific Method
The Scientific Method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments.
There are steps that should be followed:
1. Question - This is what you want to find out from the experiment. The question about the experiment.
2. Hypothesis - Your prediction for the outcome of the experiment. A scientific guess to an answer the question.
3. Controlled Variables - The variable or factor that stays the same during the experiment.
4. Manipulated Variable - The variable or that is being changed in the experiment.
5. Dependent Variable - The variable of factor you are measuring or observing.
6. Materials - The items used to do the experiment. A list of materials used in the experiment.
7. Procedures - The steps you follow to do to conduct the experiment.
8. Observations - the information you collect and what you see happen during the experiment.
9. Data - charts and graphs.
10.. Conclusion - What you learned from the experiment. The answer to the problem/question.
