Scientific Method


I used the scientific method as a guide when starting my experiment.
I knew there were seven stages that i had to keep in mind when conducting my experiment. These stages included :

1. Problem / Question : Develop a question or problem that can be solved through experimentation.


2. Observation/ Research : Make observations and research your topic of interest.

3. Formulate a Hypothesis : Formulate a hypothesis . Predict a possible answer to the problem or question.
4. Experiment : Develop and follow a procedure . Include a detailed materials list.

5. Collecting and Analysing Results : Modify the procedure if needed. Confirm the results by retesting.

6. Conclusion : Include a statement that accepts or rejects the hypothesis.

7. Communicate the results : Be prepared to present the project to an audience. Expect questions from the audience !
