Scientific Method

Scientists are performing experiments everyday on the effects environmental hazards have on humans and their environments. All experiments, no matter how simple or complex, follow basic steps. These steps are known as the scientific method. Teach your students to follow this method when they do science experiments.

Scientific Method

1. Identify the problem. What do you want to find out?
2. Form a hypothesis. Make an educated guess as to what you think the answer to step one might be.
3. Perform the experiment. Do the experiment, make observations, and record and collect data.
4. Form a conclusion. Study the data collected, form a conclusion and compare it to your hypothesis.
