  1. SCIENTIFIC METHOD • This is a series of steps that scientists use to answer questions and solve problems

  2. SCIENTIFIC METHOD • SIX • GREAT • FARMERS • PLANT • ALL • DAY

  3. Six: State the Problem • The scientist identifies the question or subject that he/she wishes to study

  4. Great: Gather Information • The scientist researches the subject that he/she is studying. • Places to do research: library, internet, encyclopedia, television, etc.

  5. Farmers: Form Hypothesis • A hypothesis is the scientist’s educated guess or best guess about what will happen in the experiment. • Usually has the words “If... Then” • IF I eat too much, THENI will get sick

  6. Plant: Perform Experiment • Scientists develop a way to test their hypothesis • Independent Variable: part of the experiment that can be changed or controlled • Dependent Variable: What is measured in the experiment

  7. All: Analyze Data • Scientists compile data into charts and graphs • This helps make sense of the information taken from the experiment

  8. Day: Draw Conclusions • Scientist decides whether the original hypothesis was correct. • If the answer is “YES” then you are done • If the answer is “NO” then a new hypothesis is made and you repeat the experiment

  9. A Mystery Song… • Raise your hand if you know what this song is.

  10. While we’re in the studio • TIME IS MONEY • MONEY IS TIME
