    The document outlines the basic steps of the scientific method which include making observations, asking questions, developing hypotheses, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions. It then provides an example of applying the scientific method by observing an apple slice turning brown, questioning how to prevent this, predicting solutions to test, planning a controlled experiment using different liquids, recording results, and concluding which liquid kept the apple from browning.

    Scientific Ways of Acquiring

    Knowledge and Solving Problems

    Basic Steps of Scientific Method

    1. MAKE OBSERVATIONS
    2. COME UP WITH A QUESTION
    3. DEVELOP A HYPOTHESIS OR PREDICTION
    (Independent and Dependent Variables)
    4. CONDUCT AN EXPERIMENT
    5. RECORD AND ANALYZE THE RESULT
    6. MAKE CONCLUSIONS

    Example of a Scientific Method

    Step 1: Observe
    The Apple Slice turns brown.
    Step 2: Ask a Question
    What can you put on an apple slice to
    keep it from turning brown?
    Step 3: Predict
    Water? Milk? Lemon? Soda?
    Step 4: Make a Plan
    Put 1 slice of apple to each of the liquids mentioned.
    Which one turned brown? Which one turned brown last?
    Step 5: Record the Result
    Step 6: Draw a Conclusion
    If you put ________ on an apple, it will not turn brown as
    fast.
