  1. Come up with your own "everyday problem" and use the steps in the scientific method to solve it. Examples: I have three tests this week and I'm panicking!  My mom always complains that my room is a mess.  My little brother/sister won't stop bugging me. No one understands me.  I'm so bored.  I never have time to get ready in the morning.  My phone is so ghetto, and I need money/job.  My dog/backpack keeps eating my homework, etc Step 1:State the problem. You cannot solve a problem until you know exactly what it is. My Problem is - "I need a date for Friday Night". Step 2:Research the problem. What will it take to solve my problem? What do I know, and need to know, about my problem? To solve my problem, "I need someone to take out Friday Night". Who can I take? - Examine the possibilities. - Eliminate poor choices. - Consider likely choices. Step 3:Form a hypothesis. A possible solution to my problem. The simplest solution is often the best solution! "My date will be ( Name )". Step 4:Test the hypothesis. Perform an experiment to see if your hypothesis works. "Ask ( Name ) for a date Friday Night". Step 5:Draw conclusions from the data. Data are the results of an experiment. In its simplest form, there are only two possibilities:(1) If your hypothesis was correct, you now have a date for Friday. PROBLEM SOLVED! (2) If your hypothesis was incorrect, the experiment failed. DON'T GIVE UP! DO MORE RESEARCH!- What was wrong with your original hypothesis?- Did you make a poor selection?- Was your experiment flawed? - Form another hypothesis based on additional research.- Test your new hypothesis. Continue this process until the problem is solved! The Scientific Method can be used to solve any problem, even to find a date for Friday Night! Here's how to do it: Bell Ringer for 9/4on Page 5 of your composition
