Scientific method

-The scientific method is a number of steps that we take to solve any problem.

-To understand these steps, let’s first read this story .

Scientific method story

-One day, Little Andy was in a family gathering .- They all sat together to have dinner.

- Then Andy told her mother “ Mummy, I want to make lemon Juice for every one.- Mum told her “ ok, dear but do you know how to make it?”- “ Yes mum “ she said.

- Andy ran to the kitchen and she was thinking “ A lemon juice needs lemon , water and sugar”

- She looked everywhere and she saw that she can’t find the sugar.“ Where’s the sugar?” she said.

-” I can’t find the sugar “ she said to her self.- “ What should I do? “- She asked her self a question:” What can I put in my lemon juice that will make it sweet?”.

- Well , she started to search for informations: what can be sweet like the sugar?.- I have honey , jam and I also have chocolate.

- Then she started to make a guess “ I think the honey will be good for the lemon juice “

- She Chooses the honey and decided to make a small experiment to try it.

- she puts the water , the lemons ,and the honey together.“It’s time to taste it” she said.“Oh , I hope it works”

-” Mmm, It tastes so good, My experiment worked” she said.

- Her family loved it too , she was so happy.

- she decided to write down what she found so she won’t forget it.“Now, She has come to conclusion “Whenever I want to make a lemon juice and I can’t find sugar ,,, I’m going to use honey” she said.

- Now let’s try to answer some questions together to find out the scientific method steps.

-What was the problem that Andy saw when she entered the kitchen to make a

lemon juice?

- She saw that she can’t find the sugar.

OBSERVE (SEE) A PROBLEM

- So the first step in the scientific method is to:

-When Andy couldn’t find the sugar,, what Question did she asked her self?

-She asked her self: what can I put in my sugar to make it sweet?

ASK A QUESTION

- So the second step in the scientific method is to:

What other things she ( gathered) searched for to put in the lemon juice ?

-She gathered the honey , the jam and the chocolate.

GATHER INFORMATIONS

- So the third step in the scientific method is:

Was Andy sure that the honey is the right choice?

- No she wasn’t ,, she just made a guess.

MAKE A GUESS “HYPOTHESIS”

- So the fourth step in the scientific method is:

What did Andy decide to do to be sure that honey is the right choice?

-She decided to do a small experiment to make sure the honey will taste good

with her lemon juice.

MAKE AN EXPERIMENT

- So the fifth step in the scientific method is :

After Andy’s experiment worked, What did she decided to do so she won’t forget what she found?

- She decided to write down (record) what she found .

RECORD YOUR RESULTS

- So the sixth step in the scientific method is :

-At the end of the story, what conclusion did she made?

-She made a conclusion that she can use honey to make lemon juice when she

can’t find sugar .

DRAW (MAKE) A CONCLUSION

- So the last step in the scientific method is:

-So the seven steps of the scientific method is :

1) Observe “see” a problem.

2) Ask a question.

3) Gather “collect” informations.

4) Make a guess “Hypothesis”.

5) Make an experiment.

6) Record your results.

7) Draw your conclusion.

See a problem

Ask a question

Gather informations

Make a hypothesis

Do an experiment

Record results

Draw conclusion
