Scientific Investigations

Becoming a Young Scientist

Science is all about asking questions and finding answers. Scientific investigations use the scientific method to solve problems.

Steps in the Scientific Method

  1. Ask a question
  2. Do background research
  3. Make a hypothesis (educated guess)
  4. Test with experiments
  5. Analyze data
  6. Draw conclusions

Why It Matters

Investigations help us understand the world and solve real-life problems, from inventing better gadgets to protecting our environment.

Examples

  • Testing which type of soil helps plants grow best.

  • Experimenting with different materials to find the best insulator.
