ADDITIONAL NOTES/INFORMATION:
Today we discussed the Scientific Method and Controlled Experiments. Here's a website about the Scientific Method http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio104/sci_meth.htm. Please note that when searching the internet for the Scientific Method, you may find sites that have the steps listed slightly different from one another. The basic procedures, however, should be the same: 1) Ask a question, 2) Form a hypothesis, 3) Test the hypothesis, 4) Draw a conclusion.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: None.
