Scientific Method: Tuesday

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Get out your headphones and check out this link, where you'll hear a song about the scientific method.

Next, take a look at this website.

Both of the links above ask you to complete a step before you have/ask a question. In a comment to this blog post, explain what that step is.

One more great resource to check out is located here...

After you've finished your comment, take a shot at this game which asks you to put steps of the scientific method in order.

Finally, take some time to read and think through these flash cards about the science fair and scientific method.


Thanks for staying on task and pushing your thinking!

~ Mr. Moore, Ms. Vander Velde, and Mr. Ulrich

  1. Dear Mr. Moore and Mr. Ulrich,
    The step before asking a question is to observe. To observe is to wonder.

  6. Dear Ms. Vander Velde, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Ulrich,

    I have two questions that I still have for the Scientific Method. My first question is, why do we need a variable(s)? My other question is, I need a better understanding of variables. Even though it said it on the flashcards I still don't understand.

  7. Dear Ms. V., What is considered a scientific question? Should we record our question before we research it?

    The one thing is when I have to find research and when you find research you only need specific information on your main idea.

    A question that I have about the scientific method is "Why do we have to have a hypotheses?" and "Why do we need to show our experiment to our judge.

    A question I still have about the scientific method is: Do we have to share our results from our experiment if the results aren't that important?

  18. Dear Mr.Moor and Ms.v
    The help I need with the scientific method is the hypothesis. I need help with this because last year was hard for me to make hypothesis and that it is the hardest part for me. Thank you for the help.

    First, you take notes of the world around you and take notes. Then, you ask a question.

  25. The First thing you have to do is to ask a look around. This step is called observe. The second thing is ask a question. This step is called questioning. The treed step is to make hypotheses.

  27. Awesome topic! As a scientist I get to enjoy this exciting game of scientific inquiry on a daily basis and it's great to see your teachers' interest in this topic as well! While the name of the scientific process seems to indicate a recipe like approach to science, let me assure it is not! It's a exciting game of curiosity, creativity, ingenuity, experiment, and sometime even guessing! In addition to the many great links above you can learn more about the many ways we approach science problems here. You can also find an interactive flowchart here . Have fun with science!!

  28. Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.Vander Velde,
    Well now that I am in Middle school, We are learning about the scientific method. We did a expirement about Oobleck which is cornstarch and water. We ask how fast does it take to flatten out and it was 10 seocnd on average.
