The _____________involves a series of
steps that are used to investigate a natural occurrence.
1.Scientific Method

We shall take a closer look at
these steps and the terminology you will need to
understand.

Steps of the Scientific Method
Develop a question or problem
that can be solved through______________
Step 1 2.Problem/Question:
3.experimentation

Problem/Question
John watches his grandmother bake bread. He ask his grandmother what
makes the bread rise.She explains that yeast
releases a gas as it feeds on sugar.

Problem/Question
John wonders if the amount of sugar used in the recipe will affect the size of the bread
loaf?

Caution!Be careful how you use effect and
affect.Effect is usually a noun and affect, a
verb.“ The effect of sugar amounts on the
rising of bread.”“How does sugar affect the rising of
bread?”

Formulate a Hypothesis
After talking with his teacher and
conducting further research, he comes
up with a hypothesis.“If more sugar is added,
then the bread will rise higher.”
