#1 Stating the Question: What is it that you are trying to find out from your experiment? What is it that you are trying to achieve?

#2 Research Your Topic: Investigate what others have already learned about your question. Gather information that will help you perform your experiment.

#3 State Your Hypothesis: After having thoroughly researched a topic, you should have some prediction about what you think will happen in your experiment. This educated guess concerning the outcome is called your hypothesis. You must state your hypothesis in a way that you can readily measure.

#4 Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment: Now that you have come up with a hypothesis, you need to develop a procedure for testing whether it is true or false. This involves changing one variable and measuring the impact that this change has on other variables. When you are conducting your experiment, you need to make sure that you are only measuring the impact of a single change.

#5 Analyze Your Results: At this stage, you want to be organizing and analyzing the data that you have collected during the course of your experiment in order to summarize what your experiment has shown you.

#6 Draw Your Conclusion: This is your opportunity to explain the meaning of your results. Did your experiment support your hypothesis? Does additional research need to be conducted? How did your experiment address your initial question and purpose?

#7 Report Your Results and Conclusion

Depending on which science book you're reading, there are either four, or five, or six steps to the scientific method. Doesn't sound very scientific, does it?! It's all basically the same general idea, so here's the average - five steps:

1. Observation - Looking at something in the world. Watching things closely makes you curious about why or when or how something happens. That leads to the next step…

2. Question - Wondering about what you see in the world. The questions that come up during your observations are the second step of the scientific method.

3. Hypothesis - A guess at the answer to the question. An hypothesis is an "educated guess". You take what you already know about the subject and use it to guess the answer to your question. You could be right. You could be wrong. It doesn't matter, because you're going to find out in the next step…

4. Experimentation - Testing your hypothesis. You come up with an experiment to find out the answer to your question. This is the trickiest part of the scientific method, because an experiment has to be designed with controls and variables in place. (Keep reading - we're getting to the definitions!)

5. Results - The answer to the question. When the experiment is complete, your question will be answered, and you'll have your results!

This is really a simple process that we use every day to understand and solve problems in the world around us. Suppose you observe that your Game Boy isn't working. You'll ask yourself the question "What's wrong with my Game Boy!?" Then you'll come up with a couple of ideas, or hypotheses: "The battery could be dead, the game could be dirty, or maybe the baby dropped it into the toilet." So you'll check the battery, take out the game and blow out the dust, then check for signs of dried Cheerios and wet spots. These experiments will hopefully lead you to the result, and you'll know why your Game Boy wasn't working.

1.Recognizing the problem-ask a question, what do i want to find out
2.Deveoloping the hypothese-make a prediction

3.Texting the hypothesis -Design an experiment

4.Analzing data-graph data

5.Draw Connclusion- find wheather the data supports the hypothesis

6.Commuticaing ideas and results- shair your ideas with others

not all of these will be used but thats alll the steps

i think its this: sorry if im not totally right

1. State the problem.
2. Collect observations.
3. Form a hypothesis.
4. Test the hypothesis.
5. Form a theory.
6. Modify a theory.
i got this froma website but i remember it being worded differently, but i wasnt sure
