Answer the following questions:

 

 

  • Define the scientific method.

  • What are the 6 steps in the scientific method?

  • Why is it important to have a prescribed set of steps that all scientists follow?

Learning Goal:

Students will be able to identify the different parts of a scientific experiment.

This activity will encourage students to explore and apply the information they have learned from the, "What is the Scientific Method?" lesson to a virtually simulated science experiment. 

     Learning Objectives:

 

At the end of this activity, students will be able to:

  • Identify the steps of the scientific method.

  • Identify the hypothesis of an example science project.
