Here’s a simple example of the scientific method, using the question:What makes ice melt faster?
1. Ask a Question: Which melts ice faster, salt or sugar?
2. Observation: You notice that ice melts when it gets warmer, but you wonder if salt or sugar could make it melt faster.
3. Hypothesis: You think that salt will make the ice melt faster than sugar.
4. Experiment:
- Get two ice cubes and place one on a plate with salt and another on a plate with sugar.
- Watch what happens over time.
5. Conclusions: After a while, you see that the ice with salt melted the fastest.
6. Results: You learned that salt melts ice faster than sugar, and your hypothesis was correct!
You can now do this experiment at home and see by yourself if it really works.
