  1. Experiment with Peanuts By Karli D. The Scientific Method

  2. Explanation • The scientific method is an organized order of steps to help get the answer to anyone’s problem scientifically. Scientists use their skills to conduct experiments so they can prove their hypothesis right or wrong. • In the next slides that you are about to see, you will find out how I got my answer to my question about a peanut.

  3. State the Problem • Can I find my peanut in a basket full of other peanuts?

  4. Formulate Your Hypothesis • Yes, I think I can.

  5. Identify and Control the Variables • There can only be one change or variable in the experiment. The others can’t be changed, so they’re called controls. The variable is the peanut. The controls are observing and a ruler.

  6. Test Your Hypothesis • In this experiment, we observed our peanut in many ways. First, we looked at its color. Next, we looked at the length and width. Then, we found how many meats there were in our peanut. Fourth, we checked for blemishes or anything unusual. Finally, we drew our peanut.

  7. Collect Your Data My Peanut was beige and grey, 3 ½ centimeters long, and 13 millimeters wide. It had 2 meats and it had a crack like a mohawk with a dent under it.

  8. Interpret Your Data • Finally I looked at my peanut and made sure that all of my information was written down.

  9. State Your Conclusion • And in conclusion, I didn’t find my peanut, I was totally wrong. I thought that the other peanuts looked very similar to my peanut. One of them looked exactly like mine, but evidently, it was still wrong.
