What do you want to learn? For example, “What doorknob in school has the most germs?” or “Do girls have faster reflexes than boys?” or “Does the color of a light bulb affect the growth of grass seeds?”
This step of the scientific method is ___________.

The fun part! Design a test or procedure to find out if your hypothesis is correct. For example, you would set up grass seeds under a green light bulb and seeds under a red light and observe each for a couple of weeks. You would also set up grass seeds under regular white light so that you can compare it with the others.
This step of the scientific method is ___________.

Find out as much as you can. Look for information in books, on the internet, and by talking with teachers to get the most information you can before you start experimenting.
This step of the scientific method is ___________.

Fill in the Blank
Record what happened during the experiment. Also known as ‘data’.
This step of the scientific method is ___________.

After doing your research, try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for this is ‘educated guess’. This is usually stated like ” If I…(do something) then…(this will occur)”
An example would be, “If I grow grass seeds under green light bulbs, then they will grow faster than plants growing under red light bulbs.”
This step of the scientific method is ___________.
10
Fill in the Blank
Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct. If the grass under the green light bulb grew faster, then you proved your hypothesis, if not, your hypothesis was wrong. It is not “bad” if your hypothesis was wrong, because you still discovered something!
This step of the scientific method is ___________.
