Blog We’ve reached the final step of Scientific Method: Analyzing the Results. The information you receive from observing your subject and experimenting is only useful when compared to your hypothesis. By comparing the experiment results with the hypothesis we can determine if our original assumptions were true or false. Mythbusters The Mythbusters give a perfect example […]

Teaching the Scientific Method: Experimentation
Experimenting is critical to the Scientific Method. It is through experimentation that we test our ideas and hypotheses and ultimately discover more about the world. We use experimentation to gather more information and prove if our hypothesis was true or false. Testing a claim can help us learn more about a subject and its properties. […]
Teaching the Scientific Method: Hypothesis
Previously, we explained the importance of asking questions. Now let’s talk about what to do with that information. Using the information that we gathered from our observation we can make a Hypothesis. This is a possible explanation to a phenomenon that was identified earlier. It is important to remember that a hypothesis must be a […]
Teaching the Scientific Method: Questioning
In the previous post, we established the first step of the Scientific Method: Observation. Now let’s go over what follows next. Questions are what drive us to learn more about the world. Through asking questions we are led to new ideas and new solutions for complex problems. Questioning is at the heart of science. Nightmare […]
Teaching the Scientific Method: Observation
The Scientific Method is the driving force behind our advancement in science. It is the process through which we build upon our existing knowledge and push ourselves to discover new things. For thousands of years scientists have used the Scientific Method to better understand the world around them. This method has been the guiding hand […]
