I think that the scientific method is sometimes a better choice, because, with the scientific method you can only change 1 thing at a time, and it's a much longer process, but it’s more strict

• The scientific method is a series of steps  that people use to do experiments. 
• In 1620 sir Francis Bacon came up with a series of steps where scientists set up experiments and attempt to answer their question.
• In school we learn about the scientific method and are forced to do it for every experiment no matter how easy it is and nobody really questions it. 

• The scientific method is very strict about following the procedure exactly, and you can only change 1 thing at a time. Also if you make a mistake you have to do the whole process all over again, so that could mean there are less creative results.
• lots of everyday inventions like the slinky, chocolate chip cookies, popsicles, play-doh, post-it notes, coca-cola and more, were made by accident . All of  them are very unique, creative and never really thought of before. I think we could get more things like this without the scientific method.
•  No matter the subject with some experiments in school I know what will happen before we start, and I think it would make more sense to just wing it
• On the other hand with the scientific method it ensures that you don’t overlook anything and that ( and some kids need this) you have very detailed instructions so you don’t get confused.
• With my project I will be questioning the scientific method ( while using the scientific method to do that ), because in theory it would be quicker if we didn’t have to write everything out.
• If I find out that winging it has lots of advantages then it could mean less time needed to write everything down ( people still need to take some notes, but way less).
• This could relate to lots of different types of science, because it questions how we do experiments

Independent Variables - if the person does are dosen't use the scientific mehod

Depanedant Variables - how long it takes, how good is their interviews, and whi many answers correct

Controled Variables-  The experiment their doing What materials they have Where they do the experiment and how much waters in the bowl

1. Set up a workstation.
2. Test to see which materials float.
3. Give people a ethier worksheet to do the scientific method or a blank sheet of paper to do without scientific method.
4. Record any notes you have about how they do the experiment.
5. Interview them about what happened. 
6. Use a rubric to grade them on how many answers they got correct, and how good was their interview.

The people who used the scientific took longer, got less answers corrcet, and their interviews were the same. But the people who didn't use the scientific method forgot to test their materals, and they didn't think about what would happen they just ploped things in.

• This experiment showed that my hypothesis was wrong because the scientific method wasn’t better than without the scientific method in any of the categories in my graph.
• I noticed that the people that didn’t use the scientific method didn’t really think about what would happen, and just plopped things in so they might not be as effective in more complex experiments.
• This experiment showed that not using the scientific method was way quicker, got better results and it didn’t take away from the interview.
• It might be better to use the scientific method in more complex experiments but in school all the experiments are simple, so I think we can just probably do them without the scientific method.

with scientific method took longer, got less answers correct, and their interviews where the same. But people who didn't use scientific method forgot to test things anf they didn't think about what would happen.

Thank you to my parents for buying me all my suppples, and helping me. Thanks to the people I tested for leting me test them.

Lastly thanks to Mr. Rip and Mr. Klassion for helping me, and setting dead lines for me so I don't fall behind.
