The Scientific Method
The following is a review of the Scientific Method with some key questions and directions on how to
design and conduct an experiment.

1. Problem/Purpose
• What is your goal?
• What idea are you trying to test?
• What is the scientific question you are trying to answer?

2 Hypotheses
• Explain how you think your project can demonstrate your purpose.
• Make a prediction regarding the outcome of your experiment.
• State the results you are predicting in measurable terms.

3 Procedures
• Give a detailed explanation of how you will conduct the experiment to test your hypothesis.
• Be clear about the variables (manipulated, responding and fixed variable) versus your controls
(elements of the experiment that do not change).
• Be very specific about how you will measure results to prove or disprove your hypothesis. You
should include a regular time-table for measuring results or observing the projects.
• Your procedure should be like a recipe - Another person should be able to perform your experiment
following your procedure. Test this with a friend or parent to be sure you have not forgotten
anything.

4 Materials/Apparatus
• List all materials and equipment that were used.
• Your list of materials should include all the ingredients of the procedure recipe.

5 Observations/Data/Results
• Keep a detailed log-book of observation, data, and results.Your log-book should contain data
measurements and written notes about what you are sensing (hearing, seeing, or touching) about your
experiment.
• If appropriate, photograph your project results or phases of the project to help your analysis and
possibly to demonstrate your experiment on your exhibit board.

6 Analyses
• Explain your observations, data, and results. This is a summary of what your data has shown you.
• List the main points that you have learned.
• Why did the results occur? What did your experiment prove?
• Was your hypothesis correct? Did your experiment prove or disprove your hypothesis? This should
be explained thoroughly.

7 Conclusions
• Answer your problem/purpose statement.
• What does it all add up to? What is the value usage of your project?
• What further study do you recommend given the results of your experiment? What would be the
next question to ask?
• If you repeated this project, what would you differ?
