the scientific method
six main steps in the scientific method
Step one has to ask a question your
question should be based on an
observation that you have made for
example while the flowers on my front
porch dying while the ones on my back or
still alive to do research on your topic
you can read park's use the internet or
even talk to people who have more
knowledge than you do about your topic I
did some research I found the plants
need water sunlight and air to grow I
realized that the plan to the front yard
and backyard of my house get different
amounts of sunlight
three is going to be to farm a
hypothesis as an educated guess of what
might happen if i do this then this will
happen if I leave a plant in direct
sunlight for eight hours a day that it
will grow five centimeters taller what
you change or control it and after the
it and your hypothesis the dependent
variable is what happens because of what
the scientists change this is also what
is measured it is found after them then
in the hypothesis
after the F and the dependent variable
is actor than that
sample the independent variable is the
amount of sunlight that the plant gets
the dependent variable is how
talking plant will grow and centimeters
variables that stayed the same and the
experiment in our experiments since we
are only change in the amount of Sun met
some other variables must stay the same
the control group is the part of the
experiment where nothing is changed we
have a control group so that we can
compare our results to something that
has to do the experiment make sure your
procedure details exactly what you will
do is to analyze the data you do this by
making a graph of your data and looking
for any trends are better at six you
find a conclusion does the data support
the hypothesis
well when you change next time and what
new questions come to mind and go
through the process again with one of
your new questions
