Scientific Method
What is the scientific method?
Example:
“I think/ I believe that the ___ brand of facial tissue
will be the strongest.”
“I think that because _______________________.”
Experiment
Now we have our question and our
hypothesis, we need a way to test
it. To prove whether we are wrong
or right.
We need to develop a prodecure
and a list of materials.
Materials
Thisis a list of all the things you
used during your experiment.
Be sure to include
quantities/amounts Examples: 10
drops, 5 mL, 6 pairs
DON’T include items you used for
your display board!
Procedure
This is the “What to do?” part
Step by step instructions on how
you did your experiment
Examples:
First I…
Second I…
Data/Results
This is what you discovered during the
experiment. What you saw or observed
happen and what you wrote down.
Use a chart, graph, table or picture to
display this.
Be sure to report the results correctly
(just the way you recorded them)!
Bar Graphs
1. Title: Give your chart a name (ex.
Facial Tissue Strength)
2. X- axis (horizontal line): “Brands and
Trails”
3. Y- axis (vertical line): “Number of
Marbles”
4. Plot points on the chart using the data
you recorded.
5. Draw a bar that extends out to your
plotted point.
Conclusion
This is the “Now what do you
think?” part.
You should use your data/results to
explain if your hypothesis was
right or wrong.
It’s okay if got different results
than you expected!
