Does Creatine work? Let's use the scientific method to find out... State the question, collect information, form a hypothesis, test they hypothesis, observe, record and study data, draw a conclusion.

1. Scientific Method Notes

2. 1st Step: State the Question
(problem)
Does Creatine work?

3. Step 2: Collect Information
- You need to work out
while taking it.
-some people say it works
-some people say it
doesn’t

4. Step 3: Form a Hypothesis
- Hypothesis is in an
if...then statement.
“If you take creatine, then
your muscles will grow in
size and strength.”

5. Step 4: Test your hypothesis
- same workout routine
- same diet
- same body type (twins are
best)
- same bedtime

6. Step 4: Test your hypothesis
The normal group is called
the “control.”
The creatine group is called
the “variable.”

7. •Step 5: Observe Test
Results
–Measure muscle size
–Measure muscle
strength

8. Step 6: Record & Study Data
- Use a data table
- Put the data in graphs

9. Step 7: Draw a Conclusion
Was your hypothesis correct?
If yes – yay you figured it out!
If no – form a new
hypothesis.
