Understanding the Scientific Method: A Step-by-Step Guide for Effective Experimentation

This overview of the scientific method outlines the essential steps for conducting an experiment. It begins with asking a question to determine what the scientist wants to learn. Next, it emphasizes the importance of research and gathering information. A hypothesis is formulated as an educated guess. The procedure involves a detailed, step-by-step method for testing the hypothesis. Data and observations are collected during the experiment. Finally, a conclusion evaluates whether the hypothesis was correct, considering independent and dependent variables along the way.

  2. 1. Ask a Question What does the scientist want to learn about

  3. 2. Research Gathering information

  4. 3. Hypothesis An educated guess of an answer to a question

  5. 4.Procedure/Method Written and carefully followed step-by-step experiment designed to test the hypothesis

  6. 5.Data /Observation A written description and collected information during the experiment

  7. 6. Conclusion Was the hypothesis correct or incorrect? Why/Why not?

  8. Variables Something in an experiment that changes

  9. Independent vs. Dependent Variables ONE thing in an experiment that changes Independent Variable What changes because of the independent variable. It “depends” on the variable Dependent Variable

  10. The house of seed example… Imagine you want to see what color of bird feeders birds preferred. Red? Blue? Green?

  11. Independent vs. Dependent Variables Independent Variable The color of the feeder Amount of seed eaten Dependent Variable
