  1. The Scientific Method Agriculture Biology Mr. Bushman

  2. Science • The process through which nature is: • Studied • Discovered • Understood • All areas of science involve posing inquires about nature

  3. Processes of Science • Observing • Organizing Data • Measuring • Analyzing Data • Collecting Data • Hypothesizing • Experimenting • Communicating

  4. The Scientific Method • State the problem • Stated as a question • Gather information • Observations, books, past studies, etc… • Hypothesis • Possible solutions to a problem based on information gathered, AN EDUCATED GUESS

  5. The Scientific Method • Experiment • Hypothesis is tested using only one variable at a time • Conclusion • Opinion based on observations or data collected. Often explains results of the experiment

  6. The Scientific Method • Report the results • Results are discussed with others, lab reports are written, etc…

  7. Patterns for Research • There is a pattern for doing scientific research that works well in agriculture. It involves the following components:

  8. Patterns for Research • IV – Independent Variable • What is being tested • DV – Dependent Variable • What changes because of the experiment • C – Constants • Things that must remain the same in the experiment

  9. Patterns for Research • T – Trials • The number of times the experiment is repeated
