The scientific method involves 6 key steps: 1) Make an observation, 2) Ask a question about the observation, 3) Research to gather more information, 4) Make an educated guess (hypothesis) about what will happen, 5) Perform an experiment to test the hypothesis, and 6) Draw a conclusion based on the results of the experiment. The example given describes a child, Ormie, who uses the scientific method to try to figure out how to reach some cookies that were placed high up.

2. The scientific method : the steps scientists
follow
To answer problems .
1) Observe
2) Ask questions
3) Research (gather information)
4) Make a Hypothesis (guess)
5) Make an Experiment
6) Conclusion

3. 1.OBSERVATION
Example: when ormie saw the cookies up high.
Observation : it’s What you see

5. 2. ASK A QUESTION
‫؟‬
•Example : Ormie wants to get the cookies so, his Question was
“how to reach them ? “
•Ask a question : about What you want to do ?

6. 3.GATHERING INFORMATION
After asking a question in your head you try to find
information, either from books or the internet .

7. DID ORMIE THINK ALL ON HIS OWN?
Ormie didn’t search for information he thought by
himself .

8. 4.HYPOTHESIS (GUESS)
•Hypothesis : What you think the answer is
I think if I get
higher I’ll
reach it .
Example : ormie’s guess was that if he could get higher
he will reach the cookies .

9. hypothesis
What did Ormie do after he
made his hypothesis?

10. 5. EXPERIMENT
Experiment :What to do to find the answer.
Example : ormie tried many things to reach the cookies

11. Example : Ormie’s guess was wrong because he couldn’t
get the cookies by trying all his experiments.
6. CONCLUSION
Conclusion : the answer to the question .
