I was taught this...it has only 6 and seems to work

1. Ask a question
2. Form a hypothesis
3. Test the hypothesis
4. Analyze results
5. Draw a conclusion
6. Communicate results

I would ask you science teacher if you aren't sure. The steps vary in my school, but these are along the same lines.

Here's a example using this.

1. Why can't stuff animals fly?
2. If we throw an animal across the room, then we could see if it could fly.
3. (Throw's animal)
4. (Falls) The stuff animal cannnot fly because it doesn't have lift propelled by wings or mechanical engines.
5. In conclusion, stuff animals can't fly.
6. Hey everyone! Stuff animals can't fly!!

That's about it. Hoped I helped...eh, somehow.

exactly right. Folks don't like the idea that scientists tell us point blank that scientific facts, or scientific truths are always provisional. Meaning the are facts and truths according to the evidence they have at this point in time. And of course that when new scientific evidence is discovered then the old scientific facts and scientific truths are replaced by the newly discovered scientific facts and scientific truths. This would mean the Christians and religious folks who depend on science to confirm what they believe about what the bible says just may only be true for now and be completely opposite later on

The scientific method involves the following basic facets:

Observation. A constant feature of scientific inquiry.
Description. Information must be reliable, i.e., replicable (repeatable) as well as valid (relevant to the inquiry).
Prediction. Information must be valid for observations past, present, and future of given phenomena, i.e., purported "one shot" phenomena do not give rise to the capability to predict, nor to the ability to repeat an experiment.
Control. Actively and fairly sampling the range of possible occurrences, whenever possible and proper, as opposed to the passive acceptance of opportunistic data, is the best way to control or counterbalance the risk of empirical bias.
Falsifiability, or the elimination of plausible alternatives. This is a gradual process that requires repeated experiments by multiple researchers who must be able to replicate results in order to corroborate them. This requirement, one of the most frequently contended, leads to the following: All hypotheses and theories are in principle subject to disproof. Thus, there is a point at which there might be a consensus about a particular hypothesis or theory, yet it must in principle remain tentative. As a body of knowledge grows and a particular hypothesis or theory repeatedly brings predictable results, confidence in the hypothesis or theory increases.
Causal explanation. Many scientists and theorists on scientific method argue that concepts of causality are not obligatory to science, but are in fact well-defined only under particular, admittedly widespread conditions. Under these conditions the following requirements are generally regarded as important to scientific understanding:
Identification of causes. Identification of the causes of a particular phenomenon to the best achievable extent.
Covariation of events. The hypothesized causes must correlate with observed effects.
Time-order relationship. The hypothesized causes must precede the observed effects in time

Ask a question-find the problem
Form a hypothesis-ask yourself what do you think the answer is
Test the hypothesis-to prove it is right conduct an experiment
Make observations-see what is going on and collect data
Analyze data-make a graph or chart of some kind
Draw conclusions-Is your hypothesis right or wrong?
Communicate results-write a paragraph or so about your findings
