• by asking questions
• because people are silly

What is the scientific method?

• a boring activity to pass the time
• taking AR tests in reading
• pointless steps scientists follow because they have to
• a process scientists use to investigate and answer questions about the natural world

During this step of the scientific method, scientists gather information on a topic that interests them, and it involves using the five senses.

• draw conclusions
• make observations
• record data and results
• experiment

During this step of the scientific method, scientists make predictions about what they think will happen.

• form a hypothesis
• develop a question to answer
• record data and results
• experiment

This is the last step of the scientific method where scientists think of new questions they might have about what they could do next.

• draw conclusions
• form a hypothesis
• next steps/ new questions
• record data and results

During this step of the scientific method, scientists carry our tests, or trials, to determine if their hypothesis is correct.

• ask questions
• make observations
• record data and results
• experiment
