Scientists follow the scientific method to test things they want to know. The scientific method involves making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments to test the hypotheses, analyzing the results, and drawing conclusions. An example of using the scientific method is testing what would happen if M&Ms were put in water for 30 seconds. The students would observe the M&Ms in water, guess that the colors would come off, conduct the experiment, see that their guess was correct based on the results, and conclude that the colors came off into the water.

1. “Scientific Method”

2. What do the scientists do?

3. Do they make explosions on the
lab???

4. NO , as long as they follow the
LAB SAFETY RULES, nothing
bad will happen

5. Scientists follow steps to test things
they want to know
this is called
“Scientific
methods”

6. The STEPS of a
scientific method

7. Lets act as if we are all scientists

8. LOOK

9. M&Ms

10. Measuring cup

11. ASK

12. What will happen if M&Ms are put in
water for 30 seconds?

13. GUESS

14. TEST
+

16. Results

17. Answer
So ,the M&Ms colours will
get into the water out of
the M&Ms

18. Was our guess
correct ?
Why?

19. The scientific
method steps are:

20. 1-Look and ask
1-Observe

24. Wow, you are all good observers

25. 2- Guess
2-Hypothesize

26. Car race experiment

27. We have red car and blue car.

28. Every student is asked to write his
guess ( hypothesis) into his index
card about which car will run faster

29. Then we will start doing the race

30. Let’s see the winner who’s hypothesis
was right

31. 3-Test
3- Experiment

32. What would happen if we drop an
egg from 30cm above the ground?
Let’s try it and do the experiment

33. 4- Results

34. 5-Answer
5-Conclusion

35. Can you drop the egg without
spoiling the ground?

36. Yes, only if it is boiled

38. Thank you my lovely
students
