How is the scientific method used to investigate the world around us? EQ 4 By David Zhao
First Step Purpose • The first step is to design a purpose for your experiment • It should clearly state what you are trying to accomplish
Second Step Hypothesis • Next you have to make a scientific guess, a hypothesis, on what you think will happen.
Third Step Materials • Then you should make your materials list. • It should include everything you used in the experiment
Fourth Step Procedure • After your materials list you need to make a procedure • It is a step-by-step list of what you do • Be very detailed
Fifth Step Data Collection • When you are in the mists of your experiment note down your observations and anything of interest. • After the experiment has concluded write down the results too
Sixth Step Data analysis • Analyze your data by • Making a graph of your data • Looking for patterns in your data • Making any needed calculations (percent change) • Any new questions • Sources of possible error • Alternative explanations
Final step Conclusion • Tell if your hypothesis was correct • Anything you found out • Sum up your whole lab report
