Study Notes
Scientific Method
- Scientists use a method to investigate problems in nature
- Scientific method involves using senses and other instruments to identify problems
- A hypothesis is a proposal—a guess—by scientists to explain an observation or a testable scientific guess before experimentation
- During experimentation, procedures are used to solve identified problems; data is collected, recorded and analyzed
- Research involves reading about the problem
- Theory is a universally accepted fact
Steps in the Experimentation Method
- Title: Stating the name of the experiment
- Aim/Hypothesis: Stating the problem to be solved
- Research: Reading about the problem
- Apparatus/Materials: Instruments used in the experiment
