  • Join to access all included materials

Steps of the scientific method are summarized, and then an example experiment is presented to allow practice identifying the steps. The graphics and animations are a little blurry, but this otherwise well-formulated presentation will enhance your lesson on the scientific method. It can be used to prepare young scientists for a science fair or for the laboratory procedures in your classroom. Ideally you would follow it with a hands-on activity in which learners apply the steps.
