What is the Scientific Method?
It’s the way scientists solve a problem
The scientific method is the list of steps you use to solve a problemSlide3
The Scientific Method
Purpose
Hypothesis
Materials
Procedure
Data
Results
ConclusionSlide4
This is
why you are doing the experiment.
Example:The purpose of this experiment is to see which 2
nd grade teacher will win at the milk chugging contest…
PurposeSlide5
This is the where you guess what is going to happen after the experiment…
I think…Example:I think that Mr. Bagley will beat Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Johnson at the milk chugging contest.
Hypothesis
+Slide6
Materials are the
things
that you will need for the experiment.
Example:We will need a gallon of milk and a timer for the milk chugging experiment.
MaterialsSlide7
These are the steps you complete during the experiment.
Think of them as Example:
Teachers will be given a gallon milk .The teachers will drink the whole gallon of milk while someone times them with
the timer.Record each teacher’s time on a chart.
ProcedureSlide8
After you have followed the steps of the experiment,
record the data
! Then create a chart or graph to show your data. Then you can
try to find anything special about your
results.
Data
ResultsSlide9
After you look at your data, see if you can make a conclusion. In other words,
what did you learn from doing this experiment?
Example:We learned that Mr. Bagley is stronger than the other teachers and can chug a lot of milk!

Let’s find out…Slide12
Jackhyla
and
Shantell wanted to do an experiment with magnets. They listed the things they needed to do the experiment: magnets, toy cars, and rubber bands. What part of the scientific method is this called? a) hypothesis
b) materials c) procedure
d) dataScenario #1Slide13
b) materialsSlide14
Jaden, Sincere, and
Ashante
were testing to see which ball, a basketball or volleyball, would bounce higher. Before they did the experiment, each of them guessed what they thought would
happen before the experiment. What part of the scientific method is this called?
a) purpose b) materials
c) hypothesis
d) data
Scenario #2Slide15
c) hypothesisSlide16
Scenario #3
Degas,
Nyasia, and
Abriana decided to test which objects in their classroom were attracted to magnets. When their teacher asked
why they were doing their experiment, they told their teacher the reason. What part of the scientific method is this called?
a) purpose
b) materials
c) data

Makayla
and
Trayshawn wanted to test if sugar or salt dissolved faster in hot water. In order to do this, they followed certain
steps to complete the experiment.What part of the scientific method is this called?
a) data b) procedure c)
purpose
d) results
Scenario #4Slide19
c) procedureSlide20
Scenario #5
Kamiyah
and Treyvaughn were testing which balloon rocket would go the fastest. After they did each test, they
recorded their findings on a chart.These findings are what part of the scientific method?
a) hypothesis b) materials c) procedure
d) dataSlide21
d) dataSlide22
Scenario #6
Tayshawn
and Jacoby were looking at the results of their experiment with glue. They noticed that
wood holds tighter together with wood glue than with school glue. They learned
that wood glue is best when working with wood.What part of the scientific method is this called? a) hypothesis
b) materials
c) procedure
d) conclusionSlide23
d) ConclusionSlide24

Demontae
and Ariana measured how high they could jump by wearing different types of shoes. From their results, they
learned that shoes with rubber soles are more suitable for jumping rather than shoes with plastic soles.

b) materials c) procedure d) data
Scenario #10Slide31
a) conclusionSlide32
Now you are experts in the scientific method!
My
hypothesis is that you will pass the test. Are you ready to prove
that guess
right?
