    1.3 - Steps in Scientific Investigation

    Uploaded by

    Suhaila Sani
    Scientists follow a systematic process called the scientific method when conducting scientific investigations. The steps include: 1) identifying a problem, 2) forming a hypothesis, 3) planning an experiment to test the hypothesis, 4) controlling variables, 5) collecting data, 6) analyzing and interpreting the data, 7) making a conclusion about whether the hypothesis was supported, and 8) writing a report. Following this process helps ensure investigations are reliable.

    3 – STEPS IN SCIENTIFIC
    INVESTIGATION
    Scientist use the scientific
    method when carry out scientific
    investigation.

    They follow the steps to make


    sure that what they do is
    systematic and reliable.

    SCENTIFIC METHOD
    STEP 1: IDENTIFYING
    STEP 2: MAKING A
    THE PROBLEM
    HYPOTHESIS
    Try to provide an answer to
    the question by making a
    smart guess.

    STEPS 3: PLANNING THE


    EXPERIMENT
    Planning how to test your smart guess:-
    !  What apparatus to be used?
    !  What observation to make?
    !  What measurement to take?
    !  How to record the observation?
    Prepared   by  Ms  Sue  Soh  Ya  Lee  
    SCENTIFIC METHOD
    STEPS 4: CONTROLLING THE
    VARIABLES
    Decide what condition that you are going
    to change:-
    - Which things must not change?
    - Which things you will change?
    - What you will observe or measure?

    STEPS 5: COLLECTING
    DATA
    Decide how to record the observation:-
    !   In sentences?
    !   In table? Prepared  by  Ms  Sue  Soh  Ya  Lee  
    SCENTIFIC METHOD
    STEPS 8 : MAKING
    A CONCLUSION
    Based on the pattern in
    the result of your
    STEPS 6 & 7 : investigation, make a
    ANALYSING & conclusion whether the
    INTEPRETING DATA smart guess that you
    !   Find the best way to made is true.
    present the data
    !   Study your data carefully
    and find if there are any
    pattern in your data.
    !   You may present it in the
    form of a graph. Prepared  by  Ms  Sue  Soh  Ya  Lee  
    SCENTIFIC METHOD
    STEPS 9 : WRITING A
    REPORT
    Write your full report of your
    investigation in your science
    report book.

    SCIENTIFIC METHOD
    Honesty, accuracy, patience &
    diligence are essential in performing
    investigations to obtain accurate
    results.

    Once  a  hypothesis  is  proven  by  


    scientific  method,  it  develops  into  
    theory  which  is  applied  to  develop  
    new  technologies.
