Unit: Scientific Method and Tools
What is the scientific method? The scientific method is an orderly way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments. The scientific method is carried out in a specific order, the steps are as follows: 1. Observation 2. Questions 3. Hypothesis 4. Experiment 5. Results 6. Conclusions
1. Hypothesis: We observe using our five sense which are the sens if smell, taste, hearing, touch, and sight. 2. Question: Ask a question, what are you trying to answer by conducting your experiment? 3. Hypothesis: Use what you know to make an educated guess. 4. Experiment: Gather materials and come up with a procedure, or plan to test your hypothesis. 5. Results: Collect data and record what happened. 6. Conclusions: Decide if your hypothesis is right or wrong. Share what you learned. |
