The Scientific Method is steps scientists use to answer questions and solve problems.

Six Basic Steps:
1. Ask a question(state a problem)
2. Form a hypothesis
3 Test the hypothesis
4. Analyze the results
5. Draw a conclusion
6. Communicate the results

You can use Scientific Method with anything. What if you have a hypothesis about the Moon? You can use the Scientific Method to complete that thought.

The scientific method is a process which is used to answer questions and solve problems. The steps are very bland so it can portray to any problem. For example if you have a chocolate cake with vanilla iceing you may want to see if it would be better with a different type of Icing. The vanilla would be the type of cake would be your constant and the icing would be your variable. Then you bake multiple cakes and see which one tastes the best. :)

The Scientific method is the steps that scientists use to solve problems and answer questions. The steps can be used in almost every situation because, you always make observations and ask questions about everything you see. The scientific method can be used outside the field of science when something goes wrong, for instance when something breaks. You will ask why it broke, make observations like where it was, gather information, test why you thought it broke.

The scientific method is used to ask question and to solve problems. For example: Ms. Lehman's son is misbehaving in daycare and Ms. Lehman doesn't know what to do. Everyday he comes home and wants to play on her iPad to play angry birds. Ms. Lehman uses that to her advantage and says if he is not good in daycare, then he can't play her iPad when he gets home. She experimented by telling him he can't play angry birds if he isn't good. Her hypothesis is that he will behave because of the deal. She analyzed the results and drew her conclusion that her hypothesis was correct. By:Noah

The scientific method is mainly about learning new things about the world and all it contains. The steps of the scientific method help us learn in an organized manner so we don't get confused. You can be trying to make a band but not have enough players, so you use the scientific method to figure out how to get more people to come. :-D

The scientific method are steps scientists use to answer questions and solve problems . The steps of scientific method helps us all learn in a different organized ways. It provides foundation . An example of it is like let's say your trying to get a two teams to play volleyball , but you only want your friends on the teams. So that's where the scientific method is involved, there's not enough of your friends that want to play . In that case the scientific method may help you find more players by stating the problems , forming a hypothesis, etc .

The scientific method is a process used to answer a question or solve a problem. First you make a hypothesis. Then you test your hypothesis with an experiment. After that you observe and collect data.Which leads to your conclusion. The scientific method will help you in everyday problems, for example if you are learning to ride a bike you can experiment riding your bike.

The scientific method is steps that you use durring an experiment to answer questions and solve problems. These steps can be used in any situation because everything you do in a day is kinda like an experiment. It can be used while working on a fourwheeler or dirt bike,first you have to ask what would happen if you say moved one tooth up on the front sprocket. You have to think of how that could help you. Then you have to put it on and test it. If it increases your speed then you keep it on. But you don't really want to share your results because you don't want people to know your secrets of success.

Form a hypothesis

Analyze the results
Draw a conclusion
Communicate the results

A way to use the scientific method is if you break something. Ask how you broke it. Think of how you can fix it. Try your hypothesis and fix it.See if you fixed it. Then after you fix it you can use it again.
