Other Notes: To see a preview of this lesson on video go to http://www.interactivescienceteacher.com/scientific-method-general-science-lessons-preview/ Change any text you like in the ppt, and that includes door titles This graphic organizer is meant to be a general introduction to the scientific method, and not an exhaustive way to convey everything possible about the scientific method. Still, it’s very useful as you introduce how science is supposed to work at the beginning of the school year, or as you move into the season of science fair. Only 2 facts per door are listed here, but feel free to add and require more for your students if you like. You can also change any/all text here to suit your needs. Make one of these graphic organizers for yourself so you have an example to show, and because it makes you more descriptive when doing the lesson. Print these slides to help you present.
