Ask a Question: The scientific method starts when you ask a question about something that you observe: How, What, When, Who, Which, Why, or Where? And, in order for the scientific method to answer the question it must be about something that you can measure, preferably with a number. Do Background Research: Rather than starting from scratch in putting together a plan for answering your question, you want to be a savvy scientist using library and Internet research to help you find the best way

Background. Plants require light to grow. Plants store energy in their cells which in turn generate food and help them grow. The aim of this experiment is to show the importance of light as an important part of plant life. Light leads to the development of chlorophyll. This is used by plants to store energy during daylight. This is the energy that the plant will use to make food. Hypothesis. Plants need light in order for them to make food. It is important to grow plants in conditions that expose

understand how the world works. The scientific method is one of the greatest tools to accomplish this. It starts with a question about the world. Then background research, a hypothesis or educated guess about the research, an experiment, analysis to determine if the hypothesis was correct, and the report of the results. If the hypothesis was correct, the cycle is finished. If not, another hypothesis is put forth, and testing begins again. The scientific method infers that a provable fact will be
