Presentation transcript:

SCIENTIFIC METHOD 1. Identify the Problem What do you want to learn? 2. Do Background Research & Form a Hypothesis Find out as much as you can. 3. Test Your Hypothesis /Create an Experiment After doing your research, try to predict the answer to the problem. Design a test or procedure to find out if your hypothesis is correct. 4. Perform an Experiment The fun part! Collect data. 5. Analyze the Data Record/Review what happened during the experiment. 6. Draw a Conclusion & Communicate the Results Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct.

I NDEPENDENT & D EPENDENT V ARIABLE Independent Variable – the variable that is varied or manipulated by the researcher Dependent Variable –the response that is measured Example: “There will be a statistically significant difference in graduation rates of at- risk high-school seniors who participate in an intensive study program as opposed to at-risk high-school seniors who do not participate in the intensive study program”.
