Steps of the Scientific Method Examples 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.
