Scientific Method

Scientific Method

Steps 1

The first step is to ask a question about something that hasn't been answered yet. This should be a question that has to be experimented to find the answer.

Step 2

Next, you need to create a hypothesis. This is a statement that is based on your question using prior knowledge. The form should be in a if then statement. The two parts of this are the independent and dependent variable. The independent is the factor that is changed while the dependent is the one that is measured.

Step 3

Do the experiment is one of the main steps of a Scientific Investigation. This is because it tells you the answer to your question and also proves if your hypothesis is right or wrong.

Step 4

You have to analyze the data, this means that you have to put this data into a graph to help everyone understand what the results were.

Step 5

You have to write a conclusion, this is the last step of your lab report. This is important because it tells people that did not see the experiment live what happened and what it was about.
