The Scientific Method

 The Scientific Method 

    The scientific method is an experimental process used by scientists to answers questions created. The process is made up of six stages described below.

  • Ask a question: Create a How, What, When, Who, Which, Why, or Where question that is based on a an observation you have.
  • Construct a Hypothesis: An educated guess about your observation. It's an attempt to answer your question with an explanation that can be tested.
  • Test the hypothesis with an experiment: The experiment tests the accuracy of your explanation and whether your hypothesis is correct or incorrect. in order to receive accurate results the experiment must be fair and consistent.
  • Analyze data and draw a conclusion: Once the experiment is finished collect your data and analyze whether or not they support your hypothesis. If the data does not support the hypothesis, create a new hypothesis based on the new observations. If the hypothesis is supported another experiment should be conducted to ensure accuracy.
  • Communicate the results: Complete a final report or visual to display your observations and data from the experiment. Whether or no the data supports the hypothesis a report should be created to document the attempt.

  1. You explained the scientific method in a great format. The explanation was not too confusing but also explained the topic affectively. These statements are great ways to define and explain the scientific method to elementary science students.
