Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The scientific Method is when you have a problem and you use steps to solve it. First you create Observations. You see something that is out of the ordinary or just plain down right weird and you come up with a Problem. A problem is what you get from all the information you gathered. Then you have to Analyze the data you have and then you get a Hypothesis. A hypothesis is a educated guess that you come up with based on the information you already know and the problem.

Now you have to test your hypothesis with an Experiment. An experiment is when you use tools and your knowledge to test your hypothesis and to solve your problem. Finally you come up with a Conclusion. A conclusion is what you get when you have finished your experiment, analyzed all the data you have and have found an answer to your problem.

I wanted to know why cetain soda's sank or floated to the bottom of a tub of water. I saw what was happening and i discovered a problem. The i came up with a hypothesis on why i think it happened based on the information i knew. Then i created an expirement and tested my hypothesis. Finally i analyzed my data and came up with a conclusion on why certain soda's sink to a bottom of a tub of water.
