Scientific Method
Who uses it?
What is it?
Why should I care?

Everyone uses it everyday.
Yes Even You!!!!!!!!!!

It is a way to solve problems. Do you have any problems to solve?
Any big or any small ones?

Any of these sound familiar?
Where are My Shoes? What should I have for lunch? What class do I have next? Did I do my homework for that class? What is the cure for cancer? Which deodorant works the longest?

Problem*This is the question that you are trying to
answer or problem that you are trying to solve.
*Try to narrow it down and be very specific.

Hypothesis
-an educatededucated guess -a prediction basedbased on data -what you think the answer is based upon
your gathered informationgathered information

Experiment
This is broken into 2 parts, materials and procedure.
Materials is a list of equipment that you will need for the experiment.
Procedure is a list of instructions that you need to follow for the experiment.

Observations
Collection of information and data from the experiment.
It may be charts, graphs, or written work. This is WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!
