We gather evidence to verify or reject a hypothesis.

• Conclusion

• Observation

• Experimentation

Factors that affect the experiment are:

• Variables

• Data

• Graphs

The last step of the scientific method

• Analysis of results

• Experimentation

• Conclusion

We study graphs and tables

• Hypothesis

• Analysis of results

• Conclusion

• Experimentation
