11. Scientific Method Song Lyrics
First you make an observation of the world around Take notes and record all the things that you found Then you ask a simple question something that you want to learn Then you form a hypothesis to explain what you observed
Then you make a prediction about how it's gonna go Do a test with a control and variable Then you analyze the data and draw a conclusion   Do the scientific method to avoid all confusion
Make an observation Ask a question Form a hypothesis And make a prediction Do a test or experimentation Analyze data and draw a conclusion
