 How do scientists perform experiments and why is it important they follow these steps?  Brainstorm first then construct your sentences 4 minutes! WRITTEN RESPONSE – APRIL 24

WARM UP - BRAINSTORMING  SCIENTIFIC METHOD= purpose, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis (data / results), conclusion  Logical order for scientists to follow  Allows for scientists to be confident with their results

WRITTEN RESPONSE - SENTENCES  Scientists perform experiments and conduct research to find out more about the world around them. Scientists have developed a way to conduct experiments known as the scientific method. The scientific method has many steps including purpose, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis and conclusion. It is important scientists follow the scientific method because it provides them with a series of clear, logical steps. When scientists follow the scientific method they can be sure their results are true and repeatable.
