The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to answer questions and explore observations. This method consist in 6 steps which you need to follow in order to found out the cause and effect relationships in nature. The purpuse of the scientific method is to predict the changes of one item in a predictable way. The 6 steps thatyou need to follow will be:

1) Ask a question: In order for you to start a experiment using the scientific method the first thing you need to do is ask a question. The question most be abut something that you observe such as how, what, when, where, why, which or who.

2) Do background research: Doing background research would help you not to repeat mistakes from the past.

3) Construct a Hypothesis: A hypothesis is a posible answer to the original question. The Hypothesis must be state as "if I do this - then - this will happen."Is basicly a guess about how things work.

4) Text your hypothesis by doing an experiment: In the experiment you will determined wheter your hypothesis was true or false. You should always have a fair text. Make sure that you change one factor at a time. Most repeact the experiment several times to make sure that the first results weren't just an accident.

5) Analyse your data and Draw a conclution: Once your hypothesis is complete you most collect your data and see if your hypothesis was true or false. If your hypothesis was false you most explain why and if is true you can texted again in a new different way.

6) Communicated your results: When your done you most share ideas and results with your classmates or other people who did the same experiment.
