Scientific Method Introduction: Ms. Barkume9/13

Scientific MethodNature of Science:•Science always begins with a question or problem.

•Make observations during the entire process

•Experimentation: Scientists typically go down many “dead ends” and require patience to find a solution.

•Results come from inferences: observations plus knowledge gained from experiment/experience

•Solutions are never “set in stone” -- Knowledge is always evolving!
