What are the steps to a scientific method?

Answer 1

The steps to the scientific method as it is today. 1) Ask a scientific question.

What is that growing in the yard?

2) Make observations. -For example: Your 5 senses. Hearing, feeling, tasting, sight, and smell.

3) Gather information. -Make a list of all the places you could gather information for a scientific question.

4) Form a Hypothesis. -What you think the outcome of the Experiment will be.

5)Experiment. -Controlled experiment: only one variable is being changed/ manipulated at a time.

-Control: is the part of an experiment that is standard against which results are compared.

-Dependent Variable: is the condition in the experiment that is being tested. (is the variable that you would be measuring)

-Independent Variable: is the variable that is being changed/ manipulated in the experiment.

-Constant: any variable that remains the same for all experimental groups.

6) Collect Data. -Numerical data is often displayed in a chart.

7) Analyze Data. -Graph your results.

8) Draw a conclusion. -Compare your results to your Hypothesis.
