5. Steps of the Scientific MethodExamples using Kira’s Experiment Step 1 – Identify a problem or question Which material (paper, Styrofoam, or ceramic) will keep hot drinks hot the longest? Step 2 – Make a hypothesis (prediction) Paper cups are a better insulator and will keep hot drinks hot the longest. Step 3 – Plan and conduct an experiment (procedure) -Plan your experiment -Collect your materials -Conduct your experiment Step 4 – Collect and analyze your data Temperature were recorded on a graph and then analyzed. The Styrofoam cup retained the heat the best. Step 5 – Make a conclusion My hypothesis was incorrect. Styrofoam is a better insulator than ceramic or paper.
