The Scientific Method

Problem or Scientific Question –Must be testable –Can’t prove something doesn’t exist

The Scientific Method Developing a hypothesis Make initial observations / Do background research –Null: Statement of no effect Start: There is no relationship between… We want to disprove in order to establish relationship –Alt: Statement describing relationship Inverse / direct Linear / exponential Etc.

The Scientific Method Testing –Develop a method of testing each hypothesis –Obtain needed materials –Perform Tests

The Scientific Method Results –Describe observations made during your test –Analyze Data collected during test Conclusion –Interpret data –Critique experiment –Suggest improvements

The Scientific Method Outline for Lab Reports Problem or question Hypothesis – what hypotheses did you develop from your observations Procedure –Materials – tell what was used –Methods – explain how you performed experiment Results – organizing data –Observations – what happened during experiment –Analyzation – breakdown data – graphs and charts Conclusion – what does the data mean –Interpret data Does the data support each hypothesis What things could of influence the data What are some ways the experiment could be improved

The Scientific Method How does the scientific Method relate to Scientific Thinking?
