1. Scientific Method

2. Laws vs. Theories Law: Determined by nature and observation
Tells you how things work and what happens
Theory:
Unifying explanation for hypotheses and observations supported by testing

3. Good Science Good science
when your hypothesis, supported or rejected, can led to any discovery.
We learn more from failure than success.
Bad science is to be satisfied with one's results and stopping to discover more

4. Scientific method
Series of steps used to answer questions and solve problems

5. Ask a question
Make an observation using any of your five senses, then ask a question of how it works
Is there a monster under the bed?

6. Form a hypothesis
Hypothesis: a possible explanation or answer to a question that can be tested
2) The noises in the dark are monsters under the bed

7. Test the hypothesis
Conduct an experiment to determine whether your hypothesis is correct
3) Conduct an
experiment

8. Analyze results Collect and record data from your experiment
graph your data to help support or reject your hypothesis

9. Draw a conclusion
Conclude whether your results support or reject your hypothesis
Include data, details during the experiment, and even errors

10. Communicate results (retest)
Tell others of your experiment. Publish your findings.
Be prepared for other scientists to recreate your investigation or use it

11. Stop
