While there are plenty of websites online that have ideas for science projects, we encourage the students to come up with ideas on their own based on the Scientific Method.
The Scientific Method is helpful for organizing your ideas and getting objective results. The recommended steps for following The Scientific Method are outlined below.
- Purpose: State the problem. Ask a question.
- Form a hypothesis: Write down what you think the answer is to your statement or question.
- Make predictions: Guess what you think will happen.
- List the materials you used.
- Test your hypothesis: Write down all of your steps and tell exactly what happened.
- Was your hypothesis proven or not proven? It’s OK if it’s not proven.
- Analyze your results: Explain why you think it happened the way it did.
- Form a conclusion: Add any information you think is important for future scientists to study regarding your question. What things would you change?
