  1. The Scientific Method

  2. The Basic Steps • State the problem • Form a hypothesis • Test the hypothesis • Draw conclusions

  3. State the problem • A problem cannot be solved if it is not identified. • Research should be done to understand the problem.

  4. Form a hypothesis • This is a possible solution to the problem.

  5. Test the hypothesis • Perform an experiment to determine if the hypothesis solves the problem or not. • Observations and data will be made and recorded.

  6. Draw Conclusions • Based on the observations and data, conclusions are drawn. • Conclusions can be as simple as “yes” or “no”.

  7. Experimental terms • Variable - factor being tested. • Control - part of experiment without the variable (used as a comparison).
