  1. THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD By: Drew Sandage

  2. THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD • Identify the problem • Collect information • Make a hypothesis or guess • Test the hypothesis • Draw conclusions

  3. IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM • Getting in mind the question you wish to answer Example – Does a car get better fuel mileage by using higher octane fuel?

  4. COLLECT INFORMATION • Gather information about your problem from sources available Example – Automotive magazines and newspaper articles

  5. MAKE HYPOTHESIS OR GUESS • Based on the information gathered, state the outcome you believe will be proven true Example – I believe the fuel consumption per mile will decrease with the use of higher octane fuel (better mpg)

  6. TEST THE HYPOTHESIS • Conduct an experiment to determine the results of your hypothesis Example – Over the course of a standard driving time and condition (such as to work), fill up with the lowest octane on one tank then try with the highest octane on the second tank.

  7. DRAW A CONCLUSION • Examine your test results to determine if your hypothesis was correct Example – Calculate your fuel mileage for each tank of gas used to see which one was the most efficient

  8. THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD • Identify the problem • Collect information • Make a hypothesis or guess • Test the hypothesis • Draw conclusions
