    Study Notes

    The Scientific Method Steps

    • The scientific method is a process used to answer questions and solve problems.
    • It involves making observations, asking questions, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, recording results, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions.
    • The steps are: Make an observation, Ask a Question, Form a Hypothesis, Conduct an Experiment, Record the Results, Analyze the Data, Draw a Conclusion.

    Working Like a Scientist - Running Fair Tests

    • A fair test ensures only one variable is changed at a time.
    • This allows scientists to determine if that variable is responsible for the observed results.
    • The example shows an experiment with potted plants to test if light is needed for plants to grow.
    • There are several boxes, some with light and some without.
    • Only one variable, the presence of light, is changed.
    • This allows the scientist to study the effect of light on plant growth.
