Scientific Method of Problem Solving • 1. Problem: • The question you want to answer. • Always stated in Sentence and question form
Scientific Method of Problem Solving • 2. Hypothesis • An answer for the question/problem you are trying to answer. • A testable prediction about how to answer your question/problem
Scientific Method of Problem Solving • 3. Experiment • The method you will use to test your hypothesis. • The steps by which you test whether your hypothesis is correct or not.
Scientific Method of Problem Solving • 4. Observation and Data: • (2 types) • Quantitative • Involves: numbers • Qualitative • Involves: your senses • Information collected using your 5 senses. • Information you analyze to draw a conclusion about your hypothesis
Scientific Method of Problem Solving • 5. Conclusion • A judgment about your hypothesis needs to: • 1. Answer original question • 2. Support the answer with collected data.
Mr. B, this is stupid… • Why is this scientific something I should care about?...I don’t even like science • I’ll never use this…
Let’s discuss talk about this • Refer the scientific method back to how we solved the brain teaser. • Question • Hypothesis (guess) • Experiment (try it!) • Observation (did it work?) • Conclusion (did it work…what should you try now?)
Early Finishers Try This… An old beggar collects cigarette ends from ashtrays and sidewalks and uses the tobacco to roll her own cigarettes. She has this practice down to a fine art, knowing it will take seven cigarette ends to make one cigarette. Since she has collected 49 ends, how many cigarettes can she make from these and why? Try using steps of the Scientific Method
