The Scientific Method Mrs Bond

5 Steps: Identify the Problem. Research the Problem & Make Observations. Form a Hypothesis. Design and Experiment to test the Hypothesis. Draw Conclusions. Share your results!

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

2. Research the Problem Examine Background Information about the problem and make observations. Aids in Developing a Hypothesis. Hypothesis = an educated guess that can be tested. Examine Background Information about the problem and make observations. Aids in Developing a Hypothesis. Hypothesis = an educated guess that can be tested.

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

4. Test the Hypothesis Perform an Experiment by: Listing Materials you will need. Outlining a Procedure for the experiment. Identifying How you will Collect Data. Perform an Experiment by: Listing Materials you will need. Outlining a Procedure for the experiment. Identifying How you will Collect Data.

5. Draw Conclusions Ask yourself, “Was my hypothesis an accurate prediction?” Base your conclusions on your Experimental Data. 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. Takes into account the preliminary data.  Theory - statement based on a significant amount of evidence and has been tested numerous times. Ex: theory of evolution. Source:

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