The Scientific Process involves basic steps that
scientists follow in uncovering facts
and solving scientific problems

We will take a closer look at
these steps and the terminology you will need to
understand before you start a
science project.

Steps of the Scientific Process
1. Ask a QuestionAsk a Question: Develop a question or problem that can
be solved through experimentation. This is called
a testable question.

Steps of the Scientific Process
2. Form a HypothesisForm a Hypothesis: Predict a possible answer to the
problem or question. This is called an educated guess.
Example: If soil temperatures rise, then plant growth will
increase.

Steps of the Scientific Process
3. Design and Carry out the ExperimentExperiment: Develop and
follow a sequential list of steps called a procedure.
Include a detailed materials list.
The outcome must be measurable.(think math related)

Steps of the Scientific Process
4. Record and Analyze DataRecord and Analyze Data: Record what happened or
changed during the experiment.
Include tables, graphs, charts, and/or photographs.

Steps of the Scientific Process
5. Draw ConclusionsDraw Conclusions: Include a statement that accepts or rejects the hypothesis. (My data does or doesn’t support my hypothesis)
Restates results and may make recommendations for further
study and possible improvements to the procedure.

Steps of the Scientific Process
6. Communicate the ResultsCommunicate the Results: Share your findings with others: peers, parents,
community

7. Further InquiryFurther Inquiry:
Perform more experiments of a similar nature
