overview
There are 5 steps to the Scientific Method.

9. Don’t forget to chunk your notes!

10. The Scientific method
The 1st step of the Scientific Method is asking a question about a problem that needs a solution.

11. The scientific method
The 2nd step of the Scientific Method is forming a hypothesis that could possibly explain the question.

12. The scientific method
If a hypothesis is tested over and over again, and it always true, it is considered a theory.

13. The scientific method
By the 3rd step of the Scientific Method, an experiment is conducted to test the hypothesis.

14. The scientific method
The 4th step of the Scientific Method requires results data to be collected from the experiment.

15. The scientific method
Once the 5th step of the Scientific Method is reached, a conclusion is formed about the hypothesis based off the experiment’s results.
