16. Identify the problem. Ask the question that you want solved. Develop a hypothesis. Predict an answer to your question – make an “if… then…” statement Create an experiment. Make a reliable experiment with detailed steps that can be replicated. Perform experiment. Follows steps exactly, record numerical data in tables. Analyze your data. What does the information from your experiment tell you? Be sure to graph your data. Draw a conclusion. What does the data tell about your hypothesis. Communicate results. Tell the world about your results so that they may build upon your findings.

17. Now that we have the passage read. Lets answer the first question together. What we don’t finish in class today becomes homework and will be due Thursday the 10th.
