Scientific Method
Every day scientists investigate problems.
Sometimes the problems are quickly solved and sometimes they take many years to solve. And sometimes problems
remain unsolved. When scientists try to solve a problem,
they usually search for an answer in an orderly way. This orderly systematic approach to problem solving
is called the Scientific Method. The basic steps to the Scientific Method are: Stating the Problem,
Gathering Information on the Problem, Forming an Hypothesis, Performing Experiments to Test the Hypothesis,
Recording and Analyzing Data, Stating a Conclusion and Repeating Your Work.
This lesson has been designed to teach junior high students the steps to the scientific method and why it is
