Title: The Scientific Method
Description: Focused toward a quick analysis of the scientific method that will most-likely be useful to those in a science course of a high-school student or early college student. Also beneficial to those focused on enacting an experiment and recording results

SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Note: Science can only disprove concepts or ideas through the process of objective testing to find
results
...
So in order to create a testable method of
disproving concepts or coming to solutions or new hypothesis, the scientific method is used
...

The basic question that the experiment focuses on finding results on
...
“Would these plants grow faster if I use a different type of fertilizer?”
“What to do”-form a question
...

Not required, but typically an “If…Then” Statement
Focus of a hypothesis is to predict an outcome
ex
...
Type of fertilizer
Dependent: What is affected based on the change in the
independent variable
ex
...


Data Collection
Process occurs during and after the experiment
...

ex
...

"What to do"- record the results during the experiment and then once the experiment is
finished, then, record them onto a graph, if necessary, for the purpose of comparing data
...

If disproved: Focus on making a new hypothesis based off of the results of the first
experiment, then if necessary, repeat the experiment in order to see if the new hypothesis still
stands
...

ex, I realize that brand A did not help my plants grow quickest, I then review the
results and discover that brand B was more effective and create a new hypothesis in
favor of brand B
...

"What to do"- Review results and if necessary, formulate a new hypothesis and test for
that new hypothesis
