Summary:
The scientific method is a series of steps you can follow to solve any
answer your problem. It starts when you have a question or problem, you do research,
left-hand form a hypothesis, experiment, analyze data, and form a conclusion. A
column hypothesis always explains why we think something will occur from our
questions background knowledge or research. Graphs must always have the things
listed in the chart. A conclusion is meant to show evidence of whether you
were right or wrong and to think about how the experiment went.
