Step 2: Research
This is the singlemost important part of the scientific mathod
Here you do some research
Gather background information on what you are testing
Investigate the different things you are using in your experiment to answer your question
Use reputable sources - Use websites that contain factual information not just the first site that comes up in your search.
Write down the data you collect during your search

Step 3: Form a hypothessis
A good hypothesis will lead a scientist to predictions that can then be tested through observations or experimentation.
The ability to test a hypothesis is key - if you can't test it, you can't determine if it's valid or not!
This is your "if, then" statement

Step 4: Experiment
Here's the fun part. Let's experiment. This the part of the scientific method where we test our hypothesis. Here we develop a procedure, that can be duplicated or done by another person. You must list all materials and steps exactly so that another peron can perform your experiment with the same/similar results.

Step 5: Analyze your results
What did you see?
What happened during your experiment?
Did it support your hypothesis?
Document everything you observed during you experiment
This is the data section of your lab report

Step 6: Conclusion
This is where we report the results to our experiment. Here we discuss if our hypothesis was correct or incorrect. It is OK to be wrong in our hyspothesis. Not matter if it is right or wrong, this is where we present the data and why it did or did not work. Here we add what we learned from research to what the taken taken was and present it.
