The 7 Steps of The Scientific Method Explained
Step 1: Make an Observation
- An observation is the beginning of everything
- What you perceive with your senses? What can you observe about the chosen topic?
Step 2: Ask a Question
- Based on your observations
- Developing a problem that can be solved by the process of experimenting
- Usually a “How’ or “Why” question?
Step 3: Conduct Research
- Have the subject knowledge and collect information needed to know about the subject of the experiment
- This is used to build the hypothesis
Step 4: Form a Hypothesis
- Hypothesis is a well jotted out forecast to the answer of the certain problem
- It is carried out based on research and prior knowledge.
- An answer to the question framed.
- There is no right or wrong hypothesis using our question lets develop a hypothesis.
- Format of Hypothesis
- Generally two formats are used: “If…then…because…” and “I think…because…”
- Both formats include the all important “because statement” used to justify our supposed forecast.
Step 5: Conduct Experiment
- This is where an experiment is conducted.
- A set of repetitive methods is developed to conduct the experiment.
- The main aim is to test our hypothesis by collecting the facts and data
- Includes variables – a measuring quantity that is used or changed during the experiment.
- What are our variables used in the experiment?
- Independent variable or dependent variable
Step 6: Analyze Data
- Organizing the data and solving the problem with the calculations
- Explaining the data gathered from the experiment.
- Lastly, observations, information and data are collected from the experiment.
- Use of pictorial representation via charts, graphs, averages, percentages, etc.
Step 7: Report Conclusions
- A summary of results, the answer to the chosen question.
- What could go wrong and what are the possible sources of error?
- Does your data (answer) support your hypothesis? Why or why not? What conclusion can you make about your topic
- To check whether the data supports the hypothesis.
- Revise
- Yes then you made a scientific Discovery!!
- If No make a new hypothesis and test again.
