Scientific Method Lesson Plans

Learners explore importance of accuracy in reporting, focusing particularly on articles documenting scientific discoveries, and practice scientific method by conducting experiments to test and report on scientific hypotheses.

Students explore topics of interest for an experiment. The student's topics are arranged into original questions to be tested according to the scientific method. Students carryout their experiments and communicate their data properly to their classmates.

Students recognize and follow the steps of the scientific method to complete an experiment.  For this scientific method lesson, students use inquiry tools to measure objects.  Students record their data.

Young scholars use the scientific method to determine physical and chemical properties of unknown substances. In this scientific method lesson plan, students discuss chemical and physical properties of substances as a class after a demonstration using a mystery box and mystery powder. Young scholars are given 10 substances to observe. They mix each with 3 different liquids, they test their electrical conductivity and they observe the effects of heating the substances.

Students participate in an experiment and learn to record it using the scientific method.  In this biodegradable plastics instructional activity, students follow the scientific method to complete an inquiry. Students complete an experiment with a fish tail.

First graders identify the different steps of the scientific method. In this life science instructional activity, 1st graders apply this method when conducting a series of hands-on activities. They collect data and write observations in their journals.

Students try an experiment using the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson, students conduct a water experiment to see how many drops of water fit on a coin. They make a hypothesis, look at controls, and introduce variables.

Students explore how to use the scientific method to solve problems.  For this scientific lesson students define terms, apply the method to problems and search the internet and find sites that cover the scientific method.

Students explore the concept of the scientific method.  In this investigative lesson, students investigate which direction the blades will spin on a gyrocopter.  Student will practice using the scientific method to complete the investigation. 

Students explore scientific method and scientific investigation They conduct an investigation using bacteria and antibiotics. In addition, they verbalize their experimental results.
