The document discusses the scientific method, which is a process used by scientists to study the world through observation and experimentation. It outlines the key steps of the scientific method, which are to make an observation, develop a hypothesis, test the hypothesis through experimentation, record the data from the experiment, and analyze the results. The goal is to gain knowledge and explore ideas in a reliable, systematic way.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES define and list explain the apply the the steps in steps in the scientific scientific scientific method in an method method experiment SCIENTIFIC METHOD The scientific method is a reliable process used by scientists to explore and gain knowledge about the world they observe and study. SCIENTIFIC METHOD There are specific steps that should be taken when using the scientific method. MAKE AN OBSERVATION The first thing to do with the scientific method is to come up with a question through observation. Observations are made by using the five senses. MAKE A HYPOTHESIS Gather information in order to come up with a guess called a hypothesis. Predict the outcome of the problem. TEST WITH AN EXPERIMENT Once you have a hypothesis, the next step is to design and execute an experiment to test it. A key to good experiments is to only change one variable at a time. RECORD YOUR DATA There are different ways to record data, such as graphs, diagrams, and maps. ANALYZE YOUR DATA Once all the tests are completed and results are recorded, analyze your data and compare it with your hypothesis. THANK YOU! I hope you learn something new today!
