The Scientific Method Mrs. Jenkins

5 Steps: Identify the Problem. Research the Problem & Make Observations. Form a Hypothesis. Design an Experiment to test the Hypothesis. Draw Conclusions.

1. Identify the Problem What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

3. Form a Hypothesis Make a testable Prediction about the problem or goal you are investigating. Compose an “If….Then….” statement. Keep it Simple!

2. Research the Problem Examine Background Information about the problem Aids in Developing a Hypothesis.

4. Test the Hypothesis Perform an Experiment by: List Materials Outlining a Procedure for the experiment. Collect Data.

5. Draw Conclusions Ask yourself, “Was my hypothesis an accurate prediction?” Base your conclusions on your Experimental Data.

Hypothesis, Theory, Law Hypothesis = an educated guess that can be tested. Theory - statement based on a significant amount of evidence and has been tested numerous times. Ex: theory of evolution. Source: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/hypothesis

Law - statement that has been found to be invariable (does not change) under the same conditions. Ex: law of gravitation.
