The Scientific Method

Sappington's fourth graders learned about the scientific method today!
Here are the steps!
1.Observe and Ask Questions (testable)
Ex: Which popcorn pops the most

2.Form a hypothesis- A hypothesis is an if/then statement that tells what you think will happen and why you think it will happen
3.Plan an Experiment- gather your materials,  come up with your directions, and your procedure to follow. 
4.Conduct an Experiment- do your experiment, follow the steps.
5.Draw Conclusions- what happened and why did it happen.  What did you learn?
