The Scientific Method-Daniela Trujillo

1. 1. Observation

   • Observate what you are planning on testing.

2. 2. Gather information

   • Through observating gather information on what you are planning on testing.

3. 3. Ask question:

   • Ask questions about what you have been gathering information on: How, What, When, Who, Which, Why, or Where?

4. 4. Hypothesis:

   • A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for an observation. It is an attempt to answer your question with an explanation that can be tested.

5. 5. Experimental design:

   • Desing an experiment to test if the hypothesis is correct, conduct a fair test by changing only one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same. The experiment should also be repeated several times to make sure it works.

6. 6. Results:

   • Analyse the results to make sure they support the hypothesis.

7. 7. Conclusions:

   • If the results support the hypothesis then explain what happen on the experiment. If the results don’t support the hypothesis then change the hypothesis and repeat the method, then explain why this happened.

8. 8. Publish:

   • Once you have the results and conclusions complete publish them for the public to see, people may be inhterested on the same experiment wether it supports the original hypothesis or not.
