welcome to mr mayor steps of the
scientific method we'll be learning
seven steps of the scientific method
and you will use those seven steps in
your science fair project that will be
assigned later this year
as you can see by the picture
most people think of science in a mad
scientists but what we're gonna be
studying is the scientific method
which involves a series of steps
that are used to investigate a natural
occurrence
now this can happen anywhere in the
world it doesn't have to happen in the
science ru
it could happen anywhere you can you see
these
uh... steps being used in multiple
different places and would surely some
of those examples
as we move forward
we'll take a closer look at these steps
in the terminology you will need you to
understand before he started science
project
at this time what i would like you to do
is that like you to take out a notebook
because we're gonna write down those
seven steps and we're gonna start her
begin to learn those steps um... end
what each of them entails huh
soaking in notebook
i would like you to on the top
breakdown the scientific method as
you're kind of title
then i would like you to write the seven
different
uh... steps that we're going to be
studying leading spaces in between each
of them
so we can meet later
on they know other videos sp begin to
describe them a little bit more give
them a little agood definition
and be able to remember what each of
them is so when we use them in our
project we know exactly what they are
so if you'd like to possible
the video great now
so you can write these down that would
be great
and we'll come back
here and will go through them just a
little bit
so if you want to push pops right now
all right
you've got 'em written down now
you've got data
seven steps hopefully there's a little
bit of the spacing between tours later
on we're gonna break these down
in another video we're gonna break this
down a little bit more
but as you can see the first
stout
is your problem or question
obviously that's kind of
uh...
self-explanatory as to what those are
your problem in question is from what do
we want figure out
the second step is observation in
research so before we do anything we
want to do an observation or do some
research on this topic to see
maybe how it's been if it's been done
before if there's been a a project done
before and how they did it
uh... we could also get some background
information as to
what our problem were questioned intel's
after we do that research
now we're gonna come up with a formulate
a hypothesis
and i pop this is a string of i'd guess
as to what we think
what happened in our in our
experiment
what kind of results will we get we're
not exactly sure
but we want to know what kind of results
are going to be
that's what everybody considers probably
there
favorite part which is the experiment
and when you do an experiment
um... yours set it up
there's going to be it's gotta be kind
of a measurable experimenter more talk
about that more as we go through
uh... but we do want it to be something
that you can measure in some
mathematical way whether it's by legs
uh... weight
uh... how much something uh... volume
things like that
those are all different types of
measurements and that's work spirit we
need to happen
then when the collective analyze those
results that we got
where to put it all may be in a graph
for a chart of some kind
they're gonna come up with the
conclusion what happened what were our
results what was the best thing what was
the one that
we thought was going to be right was out
the one that was going to be right
then we're gonna communicate those
results and that communication process
will be done in fifth grade and an our
class and our school um... apt
it'll be communicated at george science
fair presentation
uh... which we will be having later this
year
so you bring in your bored with all of
your information
and you will be uh... showing not only
myself
staff
uh... other students of the fifth grade
students fourth grade students
and some judges will come in to see
what you did for your project and what
your results were
so that's our first video for the
scientific method
hopefully you seen the seventh
projects early seven steps now to the
scientific method
and you'll feel comfortable when you
coming to class discussing some of them
if you want to one year old
go wild
find these different steps in the
scientific method somewhere
can you give a small definition of each
i came to give you a brief one but will
go into more detail with those later
and commitment you bring your sheet your
notes for
or your pay paper that you just filled
out with these into class next time
and will go through them a little bit
more and more detail
so those are the seven steps of the
scientific method
