Scientific Method Transparency

The scientific method is a six-step process used by scientists to solve problems and test ideas, consisting of defining a problem, researching information, forming a hypothesis, experimenting, making observations and analyzing data, and stating a conclusion. The scientific method allows hypotheses to become theories through repeated testing and validation over time.

Scientific Method

The scientific method is a step by step process that


scientists use to help solve problems and test new ideas.
Anyone can use it to solve everyday problems.

There are six basic steps to the scientific method:

1. Define the problem or question.

2. Gather information or research.

3. Form a hypothesis.

4. Experiment using materials and a procedure.

5. Make observations and analyze data and results.

6. State a conclusion.

** 7. Retest – if your hypothesis was incorrect go back and do the


experiment again. Just like the quote that says, “IF AT FIRST YOU
DON'T SUCCEED, TRY, TRY AGAIN!”

This is how hypotheses eventually become theories because they


have been tested and retested over time and always found true.

Other important parts of a science fair project or experiment


are:
- Purpose: This is reason why an experiment was done.
- Constants: The parts of the experiment that stay the same
every time (with each trial).
- Variables: This is something that you do, that you expect will
affect the result of your experiment. There should only be 1
variable per experiment!
