SCIENTIFIC PROCESS
2
STATE THE PROBLEM

• This is a question that you want to answer.
• For example
• Would I get my picture taken with celebrities
  dressed like this?

3
RESEARCH

• Discuss the research that has already been done
  about your subject. Summarize the past research
  and identify where it comes from.
• For example
• Studies in Europe have shown that 2 out of 3
  males dressed like a Beastie Boy get their
  picture taken with celebs.

4
HYPOTHESIS

• You must make a specific statement of what you
  believe to be true about your study.
• For example
• A male dressed in polyester with blinged out
  accessories is more likely to get his picture
  taken with a celeb.

5
MATERIALS

• Make an exact list of every item (kind and
  amount) needed to run your experiment.
• For example
• 1 man
• 1 polyester suit
• x celebrities
• Etc

6
PROCEDURE

• Give specific step-by-step instructions on how to
  run your experiment. Be exact and detailed so
  that anyone could run your experiment perfectly.
• For example
• 1) Dress a man in a polyester jumpsuit and have
  him attend a Hollywood event with multiple
  celebs.
• 2) Have him take his camera and ask each celeb
  if they would have their picture taken with him.

7
RESULTS

• Here is where you record all your data. Organize
  what you measured in graphs, charts, or tables
  depending on what makes sense.
• For example

8
CONCLUSION

• Talk about what your results mean. Tell if your
  hypothesis was correct or not. What could you
  have done differently and what future research
  can be done on this subject.
• For example
• My data showed that celebs are willing to take a
  pic with a normally dressed man 80 of the time
  but were only willing 4 to help a man dressed as
  a Beastie Boy. My hypothesis was incorrect

9
CONTROLS VARIABLES

• CONTROL GROUP this is your normal group to
  compare to your TEST GROUP.
• Example men dressed normally were my CONTROL
  GROUP and men dressed as Beastie Boys were my
  TEST GROUP.
• MANIPULATED VARIABLE the 1 thing that is
  different between the 2 groups.
• Example the VARIABLE was the polyester outfit.
