When you have something that you don't know, you would want to know why that is. If it is something that can be related to science, for example you want to investigate osmosis, you start out with a hypothesis. You ask a question. For example, If I put a gummy bear into water for 24 hours, then it will grow in size because osmosis happened. Then, you preform the experiment that you have asked through your hypothesis. After you have done that, you observe what has happened, and see if your hypothesis was proven or not. Through this process you can get your answer. The help that it gives us is that as long as we have a question, we can have an answer thanks to this method. Picture here: http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/scientific-method-17.jpg Back to Top

Essential Question #4

In our life, you get a lots of science around you, like in the environment. For example, medical scientists, they always try to find a new medicine that can cure many more diseases from human body. To do this, they apply the scientific method. They make a hypothesis about the disease and what they think may help or cure it. Then they conduct experiments and gather data from the research, and do more experiments. The results from these observations help the scientists to make conclusions and recommendations - and so eventually perhaps find cures for diseases. Another area is improvements in technology. For example, when you drop an electronic into water, it will probably get broken. Scientists applied the scientific method to this problem so they could find a solution, and now scientists have invented water proof covers that can protect a electronic device from water. All these investigations, experiments and observations will help the world continue to develop into the future.

=Daniel= If we want to know how ice melts in different temperature(for example), you ask a question about it, create a hypothesis, then you conduct a few experiments to try it out and confirm the answer. Then we we take the results and make changes to our hypothesis. And that is how new inventions born.

=Santiago= The scientific method is used to investigate the world around us by asking a question and then answering it following a procedure. For example you write a hypothesis, then you make a list of materials you are going to use while conducting the experiment, after that you conduct the experiment, and while conducting the experiment you write down observation or data. Finally you take a look at your data collected during the experiment and you might have found a new invention. Back to top Josh media type="custom" key="3165558"

The scientific method is used to investigate the world around us by people asking the question why does this happen when that goes in, and the scientist is trying to answer why. It might not just be you that is asking the question it could be the whole world. For example people ask " how did the earth build up" well the scientist will make up an hypothesis (if this happen then that happen), then they makes list of materials that they will need to conduct an experiment and gather data of information. After more tests and experiments they would put all the result together and see if the hypothesis was correct or incorrect, if its incorrect then they need to find out why. If its correct then they might find something to discover and investigate more. If there is no scientific method then people would be acting like then middle ages, when it rain they think it the devil now we know it not because we use scientific method

Sorry, i use the phrase something like that' alot. I am also sorry for being so vague by using 'basically'. What I mean is that in the whole world, even when you arn't thinking about it, you may just be using the scientific method. It's used everywhere outside and inside science. http://portal.saschina.org/video/media/3313/EQ4_7th_grade_science_-_deric/ media type="custom" key="3175966"

Like the lab report, scientists start from hypothesis. They try, do experiments, use scientific tools that they have invented before and then they know if their hypothesis was proved or not. I guess that this is the most scientific way to investigate things around us. Compared to long times ago, at least people plan and use tools. image: http://www.ectorcountyisd.org/ire/lib/ire/scientific-method-7.jpg

Everyday we use the scientific process all around the world. Why did it do that? When will it be here? How far will it go? These are all examples of simple hypothesis's, it is just part of the human nature to ask questions or to hypothesize basic things. New inventions are created everyday based upon these questions. People have problems and they use the scientific method to guess and solve or to answer questions and explore. This boy is using the scientific method to guess. http://www.ectorcountyisd.org/ire/lib/ire/scientific-method-7.jpg

How is the scientific method used to investigate the world around us? Well Scientific methods are used everywhere like when you are doing a lab and you have to make a hypothesis, making lists, making a procedure, conclusion. And while conducting the experiment you write down observation or data. For example when medical scientists try to find new medicines for the human. To do this they apply a scientific method to figure it out. They make a hypothesis about the disease and what they think may help.
