Scientific Method story

1. Scientific method

2. -The scientific method is a number
of steps that we take to solve
any problem.
- To understand these steps, let’s first
read this story.

3. Scientific method story

4. - Cako is a little monkey.
- He lives with Anne.
- Anne is a young scientist.
She spends most of her time in her lab doing experiments.

5. - One day Anne was in her lab doing an
experiment using some nuts.
- Cako was with Anne in the lab.
He was sleeping trying to get some rest.

6. - Anne went up stairs to get something for
her experiment .
- She left Cako sleeping in the lab.

7. -Cako Woke up and he was very hungry.
He said “Ohh,, I’m so hungry ,, I must look for
something to eat”.

8. - Then suddenly he saw some nuts from Anne’s
experiment in a long cylinder.
- “Mmm, I think Anne wont mind, if I ate these
nuts.” he said.

9. - He tried to get the nuts from the cylinder but
he couldn’t.
- He asked him self “How can I get these nuts?”

10. - Then he started to search for informations
He told himself “I must find something to use
to get the nuts out of the tube without
breaking it”
-”Anne always uses this book when she is
searching for informations,, may be it will
help me”

11. - “Aha,,,, Water makes things float like a
boat.”
- Cako said:“I Guess water can help me”.

12. - Okay I’m going to do a small experiment and
see if my guess is right” Cako said.

13. -Then cako climbed a ladder and started to pour some
water into the cylinder.

14. - “ It worked ,, It worked… My experiment
worked”
“ I can eat the nuts now” he said.

15. - Cako decided to write down what he found so he won’t
forget it.
“Now, he has come to conclusion “Water makes the nuts
float like a boat” he said.

16. - Now let’s try to answer some
questions together to find out
the scientific method steps.

17. - HE SAW NUTS IN A LONG CYLINDER
WHICH HE CAN’T REACH.
- What was the problem that Cako saw
when he woke up feeling hungry?

18. OBSERVE (SEE) A PROBLEM
- So the first step in the scientific
method is to:

19. -When Cako couldn’t reach the nuts,, what
Question did he asked him self?
- He asked him self: How can I get these nuts
without breaking the cylinder?

20. ASK A QUESTION
- So the second step in the scientific
method is to:

21. How did he searched ( gathered)
informations to find an answer to his
question?
-She searched for (gathered)
informations by looking up in Anne’s
book.

22. GATHER INFORMATIONS
- So the third step in the scientific
method is:

23. -Was Cako sure that water will make the
nuts float like a boat?
- No he wasn’t ,, he just made a guess.

24. MAKE A GUESS “HYPOTHESIS”
- So the fourth step in the scientific
method is:

25. What did Cako decide to do to be sure
water is the right choice?
- She decided to do a small experiment
and see whether the nuts will come up
(float) or not.

26. MAKE AN EXPERIMENT
- So the fifth step in the scientific
method is :

27. After Cako’s experiment worked, What
did he decided to do so he won’t forget
what he found?
- he decided to write down (record)
what he found .

28. RECORD YOUR RESULTS
- So the sixth step in the scientific
method is :

29. -At the end of the story, what conclusion
did he made?
- He made a conclusion that water makes
the nuts float like a boat.

30. DRAW (MAKE) A CONCLUSION
- So the last step in the scientific
method is:

31. -So the seven steps of the scientific method is :
1) Observe “see” a problem.
2) Ask a question.
3) Gather “collect” informations.
4) Make a guess “Hypothesis”.
5) Make an experiment.
6) Record your results.
7) Draw your conclusion.
