3. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data Step # 3: Experiment Step # 2: Hypothesis Step # 1: Problem question to be answered, what is wrong? observations: gathering information using your five senses

4. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data Step # 3: Experiment Step # 2: Hypothesis Step # 1: Problem question to be answered, what is wrong? observations: gathering information using your five senses inferences: conclusion or explanation based on observations

5. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data Step # 3: Experiment Step # 2: Hypothesis possible solution to a problem can be tested IF, THEN statement

6. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data Step # 3: Experiment tests the hypothesis step-by-step procedure repeated trials

7. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data Step # 3: Experiment tests our hypothesis step by step procedure repeated trials identify the variables (factors)

8. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data Step # 3: Experiment tests our hypothesis step by step procedure repeated trials identify the variables (factors) independent variable: variable “I” control, “I” change on purpose

9. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data Step # 3: Experiment tests our hypothesis step by step procedure repeated trials identify the variables (factors) independent variable: variable “I” control, “I” change on purpose dependent variable: what is being measured, variable that responds

10. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data Step # 3: Experiment tests our hypothesis step by step procedure repeated trials identify the variables (factors) independent variable: variable “I” control, “I” change on purpose dependent variable: what is being measured, variable that responds constant variable: variable that stays the same

11. Step # 5: Conclusion Step # 4: Collect & Analyze Data put data in a table or chart use pictures or photos explain what the data means

12. Step # 5: Conclusion summarize results did the data support the hypothesis? make predictions based on results
