Design an Experiment Part 2: Test the Hypothesis and Analyze the Data

You’ve already asked your question and made your hypothesis, and it’s time to move on to the next step of the scientific process! This worksheet provides a template and relevant questions to guide students as they complete the testing, recording, and analysis phases of the scientific method.

This worksheet helps break down two steps of the scientific process into simpler, more understandable pieces. Learners are encouraged to explain their process in detail and use charts, graphs, and tables to show their observations. A strong understanding of the scientific method makes students more scientifically literate, allowing them to read and interpret scientific journals, claims, and data sets.
