WRITTEN RESPONSE April 24WARM UP - BRAINSTORMINGSCIENTIFIC METHOD= purpose, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis (data / results), conclusionLogical order for scientists to followAllows for scientists to be confident with their results

Written response - sentencesScientists perform experiments and conduct research to find out more about the world around them. Scientists have developed a way to conduct experiments known as the scientific method. The scientific method has many steps including purpose, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis and conclusion. It is important scientists follow the scientific method because it provides them with a series of clear, logical steps. When scientists follow the scientific method they can be sure their results are true and repeatable.
