The Scientific
Method involves a
series of steps that
are used to
investigate a
natural
occurrence.

Experiment
Sam is stuck on a boat, and how he got there is not
important, but Sam can't swim and the boat is capsized.
To get to shore, Sam needs to retrieve a life jacket from
underneath the boat so that he can float to shore. You and
your partner's job is to save Sam but retrieving the life
jacket from under the boat and putting it on Sam.
Unfortunately, the only tools you can use to accomplish this
task are paperclips. You cannot touch Sam, the boat, or
the life preserver with your bare hands.

Steps of the
Scientific Method
1. Problem/Question: Develop a
question or problem that can
be solved through
experimentation.

Steps of the
Scientific Method
2. Observation/Research: Make
observations and research
your topic of interest.

Steps of the
Scientific Method
3. Formulate a Hypothesis:
Predict a possible answer to
the problem or question.
Example: If soil temperatures
rise, then plant growth will
increase.

Steps of the
Scientific Method
4. Experiment: Develop and
follow a procedure.
Include a detailed materials list.
The outcome must be
measurable (quantifiable).

Steps of the
Scientific Method
5. Collect and Analyze Results:
Modify the procedure if
needed.
Confirm the results by retesting.
Include tables, graphs, and
photographs.

Steps of the
Scientific Method
6. Conclusion: Include a statement that accepts or
rejects the hypothesis.
Make recommendations for further study and possible
improvements to the procedure.

Steps of the
Scientific Method
7. Communicate the Results: Be
prepared to present the project
to an audience.
Accept questions from the
audience.
