Scientific Method When solving problems scientifically we follow a series of steps to avoid wasting time, effort, and resources. These steps include: 1. Defining the ________ (may include research or observation) 2. Stating a ____________ (explanation of observation; must be able to be tested) 3. _________ the hypothesis (involves measurement of one variable at a time) 4. Analyzing the _________ (data organized in graphs, tables, and charts) 5. Drawing _____________ (returning to step #2 as needed) ***This is not a rigid, step-by-step outline.*** problem hypothesis Testing results conclusions
