What is the Scientific Method?
The scientific method is a set of steps that are done in order to accurately complete a experiment that helps answer a question. There is not one certain way to conduct the scientific method, but there are steps to follow in order to insure accuracy.
The steps of the scientific method broken down:
In our lives we use the scientific method and we may not even realize it! Anytime a problem comes upon us in life we may try to fix the problem by brainstorming possible solutions to it and trying them out. If something breaks we may think of ways to try and fix, If you are not getting along with a friend you may think of possible ways to rekindle the friendship, baking, gardening, and reading the weather report or if something else happens that needs to change we can think of possible ways to change it.

The steps of the scientific method broken down:
- State the problem: Understand and clearly state what your experiment will entail.
- Develop a Hypothesis: Form a possible solution or guess what you think will occur after and or during your experiment
- Set up an experiment: Gather the materials you need, perform your experiment, and collect data from it.
- Analyze data in the experiment: Review your data, what does it say about the problem you are trying to solve?
- State a conclusion: After analyzing your data what conclusions can you make about the problem? Also you may want to look at if your hypothesis was correct or not.
