The Scientific Method
What is the Scientific Method?
-It is a Step-by-step way in which scientists answer questions.
The Steps in the Scientific Method:
1. Ask a question
2. Research the topic
3. Form a hypothesis
4. Test the hypothesis
5. Gather data
6. Analyze results
7. Draw conclusions
8. Communicate results
When stating the problem, or the questions you MUST develop a clear statement defining the problem.
Make sure your problem is narrowed down or specific enough to be tested properly.
When conducting research, first write down all the information you already know about the topic. Then, do research in books or online (wikipedia isn't the most reliable resource) on the topic you're researching.
