During this step of the scientific method, a scientist would gather background information.

• Hypothesis

• Collect Information

• Observation

• Experiment

This step of the scientific method is an educated guess or a prediction. 

• Hypothesis
• Research
• Observation
• Conclusion

This is the group that we will compare our experimental group to. This group stays "normal."

• Control Group
• Experimental Group
•  Normal Group
• Weird Group

The name of the information that you get from your experiment (you organize it into tables).

• observations
