Describe the steps involved in the Scientific Method. Why do scientists continue to use this method even today?

The steps of the Scientific Method is....

1. State The Problem

This part means you must write down and think about the problem you are trying to resolve. This means that the problem must be explained well, and clearly.

2. Gather Information On The Problem

This means you must do intensive and extended research. This requires you to jot down notes, read books, hear talks, and look anywhere you could find information about the problem. Then, you must write essays on your findings, and put it all together.  You cannot gather information from the first few sources. You must check many sources. This will ensure you have information that no ordinary scientist has gathered. You must also put it together with your notes.

3. Form A Hypothesis (Educated Guess)

At this point,all notes are gathered. It is time to form a hypothesis, or educated guess. The Hypothesis is the first step to finding the answer to the problem.

4. Experiment To Test The Hypothesis

This step of the Scientific Method is when the person tries to prove his hypothesis. This requires doing tons of lab reports, and keeping all of them together. This part means that you need to collect data and to test your hypothesis to that data. This step is the next step to finding the answer.

5. Collect, Record, and Analyze Data

This step requires even more intense data collection. You must do more experiments and gather data by putting it on graphs, data tables, lab reports, and make a data summary. Then, analyze the data over and over again.

6. Draw Conclusions

Start making generalizations, and write them down. Look at them and see if they make sense, or if they have anything to do with your hypothesis. Then, write your results down and read it over many times to ensure it is what you have gotten.

7. Communicate, Share Data, and Answer Questions

You are done!! You have finished proving your hypothesis, and you can now publish it on Magazines, Newspapers, Websites, and even tell others. Make a public talk and release your results, even answer questions. Doing this will help make your theory apply to modern day Science. This is how many of modern day Medicines, Cures to diseases, and Ointments are made. The scientists have gone through the same process, and have found the cure to many diseases such as the Bubonic Plague, Pneumonia, certain Cancers, Flu, and even Leprosy.



The Scientific Method has not only helped the planet and its inhabitants, it has also helped form medicines and cures for pets and ordinary wild animals. This method is continued by Scientists today because this method has been successful. The Scientific Method has brought to existance many drugs, shots, and medicines that nobody in the past could have had, and these treatments have brought long life spans for both animals, and humans especially. Now, a human being could live to being 100 years old, while in the 17th century or earlier, a man could have lived to his late 40s, or if lucky, 51. This is the significance of the Scientific Method.

Explain what the quote means in your own words. How do you know this? Consider who said the famous words. How could it apply to your life?

The Quote is "Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science."- Ralph Waldo Emerson


This quote means that Curiosity is what Science is all about. I know this because people do love to wonder, and this means everyone is curious, and I know this to be true. This could apply to my life because when I am curious, I do want to find out more. Science has always been powered by curiosity. Actually, Science was invented due to curiosity. I remember once when I saw the moon colored Orangy one night. I was curious. I took a picture, and I looked it up on the internet and read books on the moon. I found out it was the atmosphere reacting with the atmospheric gasses, because it is on the horizon. So, Curiosity does drive Science. This is true. So, yes. Men love to wonder, and that truly is the seed of science.
