What+A+Scientist+Does

==A scientist looks at a problem(P), makes observations(O) from a phenomenon and asks questions(Q) from the observations. ==

==  __Scientific Method: __    == ==  1. Ask a Question:  The Scientific Method starts when you ask a question about something you observe:HOW, WHAT, WHEN, WHO, WHICH, WHY or WHERE?       == == <span style="color: rgb(242,104,38);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(0,0,0); line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: rgb(245,86,10);">** 2. Observation ** <span style="color: rgb(245,86,10);">**means using your 5 senses**, as far as possible, to try and understand or learn about something, remember? But, in order for the Scientific Method to answer the question, it must be something that you can measure, preferably with a number.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 17px; color: rgb(149,66,240); line-height: 25px;">      == =<span style="color: rgb(14,122,241);">3. <span style="color: rgb(14,122,241);">Do Background Research: =

Research to find out more so that you can design an experiment for investigating your topic.
=== Could you find answers to your question? If No, you construct a hypothesis that is based on research findings.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 17px; color: rgb(16,203,68); line-height: 25px;"> === =<span style="color: rgb(249,152,57);">4. <span style="color: rgb(249,152,57);"> Construct a Hypothesis = ===A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work. It is a tentative statement that proposes a possible explanation to some phenomenon or event.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; color: rgb(43,122,253); line-height: 27px;"> === =<span style="color: rgb(50,241,155);">5. <span style="color: rgb(50,241,155);">Design an Experiment =

You conduct a fair test by making sure that you <span style="color: rgb(8,247,101);">change only one variable at a time while keeping all other variables the same.

8. <span style="color: rgb(29,252,102);">Draw Conclusions
===<span style="color: rgb(246,97,35);">A conclusion is a statement based on the results of the experiment. The conclusion may or may not support the hypothesis. If false or partially true, you think and <span style="color: rgb(7,242,56);">try again by going back to constructing a hypothesis .=== ===<span style="color: rgb(15,121,235);">(Scientists often find that their hypothesis was false and if so, they will construct a new one. Even if the hypothesis was true, they may want to test it in a new way!) ===

<span style="color: rgb(59,53,53);">You will communicate your results to others in a final report and/or a display board.
===<span style="color: rgb(139,6,172);">(Professional scientists do almost exactly the same by publishing their final report in a scientific journal or by representing their results on a poster at a scientific meeting.) ===
