This guide provides an in-depth overview of the scientific method, outlining each step involved in conducting an experiment. It begins by emphasizing the importance of asking questions and defining the purpose of your research. You'll learn how to formulate a hypothesis, gather necessary materials, and follow a structured procedure. The guide also explains the concepts of variables, controls, observations (both qualitative and quantitative), and data presentation through graphs and charts. Finally, it covers crucial post-lab elements such as conclusions and real-life applications of your findings.
