The Basic Steps
State the problemForm a hypothesisTest the hypothesisDraw conclusions
State the problem
A problem cannot be solved if it is not identified.
Research should be done to understand the problem.
Form a hypothesis
This is a possible solution to the problem.
Test the hypothesis
Perform an experiment to determine if the hypothesis solves the problem or not.
Observations and data will be made and recorded.
Draw Conclusions
Based on the observations and data, conclusions are drawn.
Conclusions can be as simple as “yes” or “no”.
Experimental terms
Variable - factor being tested.
Control - part of experiment without the variable (used as a comparison).
