- 20. The Scientific Method A series of steps that scientists use to answer questions & solve problems
- 21. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method involves 7 steps: Make Observations Ask a Question Form a Hypothesis Test your Hypothesis Analyze the Results Draw Conclusions Communicate the Results
- 22. The Scientific Method Make Observations - You observe something in the material world, using your senses or machines which are basically extensions of those senses. AHLook at this!
- 23. The Scientific Method Ask a Question - You ask a question about what you observe. State the problem or question.
- 24. The Scientific Method Form a Hypothesis - You predict what you think the answer to your question might be
- 25. The Scientific Method Test your Hypothesis - You figure out a way to test whether hypothesis is correct. The outcome must be Measurable. Record and analyze data.
- 26. The Scientific Method Analyze the Results - 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.
- 27. The Scientific Method Draw Conclusion - You state whether your prediction was confirmed or not and try to explain your results.
- 28. The Scientific Method Communicate Results Share what is learned with other scientists
