  1. Make an OBSERVATION • What are the 5 senses? • An observation is something you notice from using one of the 5 senses. • Example: Sally notices that her powdered lemonade dissolves quickly.

  2. Create a QUESTION. • Example: • Does the temperature of the water affect how fast the lemonade will dissolve?

  3. State your HYPOTHESIS (educated guess) • I think that powdered lemonade dissolves faster in warm water than cold water.

  4. PLAN your PROCEDURE • What materials will you need? List all of them. -Cups -Spoons -Powdered lemonade -? -? • Write out the steps you plan to follow. If a 6 year old can understand your directions, then you’ve written them well. Step 1-Put one tablespoon of lemonade in a cup. Step 2-Add water that has a temperature of 50 degrees F. Step 3-Stir. Step 4-?

  5. CONDUCT controlled EXPERIMENT • Perform the steps • Write down all of your observations and data. • There is an old scientist saying- ”If you didn’t write it down, then it didn’t happen.”

  6. ANALYZE results • Look at the data you collected. When you did the experiment, what happened? What did you see, hear, smell, etc.? • Organize it (table, chart, graph). • Discuss your findings with other scientists.

  7. Make CONCLUSIONS • Write a statement that states if your hypothesis was correct or not. • Example: Based on my data, my hypothesis was correct.

  8. COMMUNICATE Results • I learned that as the temperature of the water increased, the amount of stirs needed to dissolve the lemonade decreased.
