The song teaches 4th grade science students about the scientific method through a 6 verse song sung to the tune of "Red River Valley". It outlines the key steps of the scientific method which are: having a purpose or question, doing background research to form a hypothesis, writing out experiment steps, taking notes on what happens during the experiment, analyzing the results or data, and reporting conclusions. It also defines independent and dependent variables, with the independent being what is changed and the dependent being what depends on the changes made.
