What is the scientific

method?This is a way to

solve a problem.

All scientists use

this specialproblem solving

method because

scientists all over

Do other people use

this method? People like you

and I use the

ScientificMethod?


7/21

How does the Scientific Method

work?There are steps that

must be followed touse the ScientificMethod.

They are easy tolearn and to follow.

Lets try themtogether.


8/21

1. The Problem The problem is a statement of your

concern in the form of a question.

The question must always end with a

?

2. Make an

ObservationSmell

Hear

Feel

See

Taste


10/21

Research your topicFind out what is already

known about your topic,

And see what you can

add to the information.


11/21

3. Make a Hypothesis The hypothesis

should be a

statement thatcontains an:

If------------------

then---------------

statement.

Is it testable?


12/21

4. Materials & Methods Gather the supplies needed to conduct

the experiment.

Set up the experiment

Decide what steps will need to be

taken to conduct the experiment


13/21

Step 4

Plan your experiment

Make a game plan of, whenwhere, how, and what

you are going to do. Be sure

all steps are safe


14/21

5. Procedure/Protocol

Lets give it a try

This is the step in

which you perform

the steps of the experiment


15/21

Step 6 Collect and

Analyze Data

This is all the

informationThat you are

seeking charts

data tables, andobservations


16/21

Collect Data

There are two types of data.

Numerical data includes:

numerical informationGraphsCharts

Observations

Includes thingsCollected with

the 5 senses

17/21

Analyze The Data Study the information collected during

the lab until you develop an

understanding of the data.

The data is meaningless without thisstep.


18/21

Step 7

Draw a ConclusionAnswer theProblem.

This is a statement that

should not begin with

I Think!!!!


19/21

Step 8

Communicate Results Share what you learned

This can be done with a report or

graph Some results can be published


20/21

Like I said,Everyo ne can usethe Scientific Method to solve a

problem


21/21

I & O Variable- change or

could be changed. Independent-changed

on purpose. Dependent-responds

to the independentvariable.

Constant-things thatare kept the same.

An inference is yourbest guess based onthe information

available and thecircumstancesinvolved.

Observation is thetaking in of information

by the body andbecoming aware of thatinformation.
