20. The six steps of the scientific method include:
1) asking a question about something you observe,
2) Do background research to learn what is already
known about the topic,
3) Constructing a hypothesis,
4) experimenting to test the hypothesis,
5) analyzing the data from the experiment and drawing
conclusions, and
6) communicating the results to others.
21. 1. Ask a Question
The scientific method starts when you ask a question
about something that you observe: How, What, When,
Who, Which, Why, or Where?
For a science fair project, some teachers require that
the question be something you can measure, preferably
with a number.
•For detailed help with this step, use these resources:
•Your Question
•Laboratory Notebook
22. 2. Do Background Research
Rather than starting from scratch in putting together a
plan for answering your question, you want to be a savvy
scientist using library and Internet research to help you
find the best way to do things and ensure that you don't
repeat mistakes from the past.
•For detailed help with this step, use these
resources:Background Research Plan
•Finding Information
•How to Write a Bibliography in APA and MLA styles With
Examples
•Research Paper
23. 3. Construct a Hypothesis
A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work. It is
an attempt to answer your question with an explanation that can
be tested. A good hypothesis allows you to then make a
prediction:
"If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen."
State both your hypothesis and the resulting prediction you will
be testing. Predictions must be easy to measure.
•For detailed help with this step, use these resources:Variables
•Variables for Beginners
•Writing a Hypothesis for Your Science Fair Project
24. 4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Your experiment tests whether your prediction is accurate and
thus your hypothesis is supported or not. It is important for your
experiment to be a fair test. You conduct a fair test by making
sure that you change only one factor at a time while keeping all
other conditions the same.
You should also repeat your experiments several times to make
sure that the first results weren't just an accident.
•For detailed help with this step, use these
resources:Experimental Procedure
•Materials List
•Conducting an Experiment
25. 5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
Once your experiment is complete, you collect your measurements and
analyze them to see if they support your hypothesis or not.
Scientists often find that their predictions were not accurate and their
hypothesis was not supported, and in such cases they will communicate
the results of their experiment and then go back and construct a new
hypothesis and prediction based on the information they learned during
their experiment. This starts much of the process of the scientific method
over again. Even if they find that their hypothesis was supported, they
may want to test it again in a new way.
•For detailed help with this step, use these resources:Data Analysis &
Graphs
•Conclusions
26. 6. Communicate Your Results
To complete your science fair project you will communicate your
results to others in a final report and/or a display board.
Professional scientists do almost exactly the same thing by
publishing their final report in a scientific journal or by presenting
their results on a poster or during a talk at a scientific meeting. In
a science fair, judges are interested in your findings regardless of
whether or not they support your original hypothesis.

Who invented the scientific method?
The scientific method was not invented by any one person but is the outcome of centuries of debate
about how best to find out how the natural world works. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle
was among the first known people to promote that observation and reasoning must be applied to
figure out how nature works. The Arab Muslim mathematician and scientist Hasan Ibn al-Haytham
(known in the Western world as Alhazen) is often cited as the first person to write about the
importance of experimentation. Since then, a large number of scientists have written about how
science should ideally be conducted and contributed to our modern understanding of the scientific
method. Those scientists include Roger Bacon, Thomas Aquinas, Galileo Galilei, Francis Bacon,
Isaac Newton, John Hume, and John Stuart Mill. Scientists today continue to evolve and refine the
scientific method as they explore new techniques and new areas of science.
28. Do scientists actually use the scientific
method?
Scientists do use the scientific method, but not always exactly as laid out in the
organized steps taught in the classroom. Just like a chef might make a few changes
to a recipe because of the ingredients at hand, a scientist may modify the scientific
method by skipping steps, jumping back and forth between steps, or repeating a
subset of the steps because he or she is dealing with imperfect real-world
conditions. But scientists always strive to keep to the core principles of the scientific
method by using observations, experiments, and data to support or reject
explanations of how a phenomenon works. While experimenting is considered the
best way to test explanations, there are areas of science, like astronomy, where this
is not always possible.

SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE
The habit of thought associated with scientific
thinking deserves more careful consideration. To
be scientific means that one has such attitudes
as curiosity, rationality, willingness to suspend
judgment, open-mindedness, critical-mindedness,
objectivity, honesty, humility, etc.
