The overall goals of a child's development in science are to deepen their conceptual understandings of the world around them, to increase their comprehension of how science is practiced and to develop their abilities.
What is the Scientific Method?
The scientific method is defined as a method of research in which an unknown is identified, relevant data is gathered, a hypothesis is formulated from this data, and the hypothesis is empirically tested.
What in the world does that mean?
In kid's terms, the scientific method is a way to study and learn things. It doesn't matter what one is trying to learn, using the scientific method can help them come up with an answer.
Scientific Method Steps:
As described above there are steps you take when using the scientific method. Here is an example of the steps:
1.Ask a question
2.Gather information and observe (research)
3.Make a hypothesis (guess the answer)
4.Experiment and test your hypothesis
5.Analyze your test results
6.Present a conclusion
