Activity 1 1/12/2011 Scientific Method

Talk about process regarding car that does not start, what do you do?
Figure out what is wrong with the car by calling someone who knows more about cars. A possible solution would be to jump start my car. If this does not work take it to a mechanic. If no one is able to help I would reconsider going to my destination. 

What is the Scientific Method, explain the process and steps?
The scientific method is a way to answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments.The steps include the following:
  • Ask a Question
  • Do Background Research
  • Construct a Hypothesis- educated guess
  • Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
  • Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
  • Communicate Your Results 


    Relate the scientific process to the experiment that you performed on surfaces and liquids.
    • The question: What happens when you put different liquids on different surfaces
    • Do research on possible outcomes
    • Predict what you think will happen
    • Perform the actual experiment of placing different liquids on different surfaces
    • Analyze observations and make a conclusion 
    • Post the results on my blog
