The Scientific Method
The scientific method is the only scientific way accepted to back up a theory oridea. This is the method on which all research projects should be based. TheScientific Method is used by researchers to support or disprove a theory.

The Scientific Method
Observation- You observe something in the material world, using your senses or machines which are basically extensions of those senses.
AH—Look at this!

The Scientific Method
Question- You ask a question about what you observe. State the problem or question.

The Scientific Method
Hypothesis- You predict what you think the answer to your question might be.

The Scientific Method
Method - You figure out a way to test whether the hypothesis is correct. The outcome must be measurable (quantifiable).Record and analyze data.

The Scientific Method
Result- You do the experiment using the method you came up with and record the results. You repeat the experiment to confirm your results by retesting.

The Scientific Method
State Conclusion- You state whether your prediction was confirmed or not and try to explain your results.
