WHAT IS SCIENTIFIC
METHOD ?
• The scientific method is a series of
processes that people can use to gather
knowledge about the world around
them, improve that knowledge
STEPS OF THE SCIENTIFIC
METHOD
• STEP 1 . ASK A QUESTION OR YOU CAN OBSERVE THE QUESTION THAT
HAS TO BE ANSWERED
• STEP 2 . RESEARCH MORE ABOUT THAT QUESTION
• STEP 3 . YOU CAN PREDICT SOMETHING AND YOU MIGHT FIND THE
ANSWER TO THE QUESTION . HYPOTHESIS MEAN YOU PREDICT
SOMETHING.
• STEP 4 . YOU MAKE AN EXPERIMENT AND TEST THE HYPOTHESIS
• STEP 5 . YOU CAN COLLECT THE RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT .
• THIS STEP IS CALLED COLLECT DATA.
• STEP 6 .EXAMINE THE DATA . THIS STEP IS CALLED ANALYSIS .
• STEP 7 . COMPARE THE HYPOTHESIS TO THE EXPERIMENT RESULTS.
WHY IS THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
IMPORTANT?

• Because scientists are human and humans make


mistakes. The scientific method helps scientists
come to accurate and safe conclusions. Imagine
taking a medicine that was made by a scientist
who merely thought the medicine would be a
good idea without conducting any research. Yikes!
The scientific method helps ensure safer products.
WHO INVENTED SCIENTIFIC
METHOD ?
• Any discussion about who invented the scientific method
must include Isaac Newton, as the scientist who refined
the process into one that we use today.
• He was the first to realise that scientific discovery needed
both induction and deduction, a revolution in the
scientific method that took science into the modern age.
