3: Make a hypothesis a half hypothesis an educated guess about the answer in your question
4: Conduct your experiment. your experiment should be designed to test your path success and see if your prediction was accurate your experiment should be fair and should include an independent and dependent variable.
5: collect data. It is very important to take good notes when conducting your experiment. write down all your observations and date in a journal so that you can have it available to share later. Make sure to record everything accurately and never try to make your data fit into your hypothesis.
6: Analyze. When you’re organizing your data it may be helpful to create charge a gas to help you visualize your results make sure to double check your steps and go back and redo the experiment if you need to
7: Make your conclusion. Sometimes you’re fine your prediction was not accurate and that your hypothesis is not supported you might want to go back and revise your hypothesis or from my new hypothesis based on the outcome of your experiment.
