• The second step of the scientific method is to ask a question about why or how something happens based on the observation[2][3].
• A hypothesis is defined as a testable prediction or an educated guess that states what will happen if a specific action is taken[2][3].
• The fourth step involves conducting an experiment to test the hypothesis by changing one variable and measuring the outcome[2][3].
• Students draw conclusions by recording their results and explaining what the data means after the experiment is complete[2][3].
• The final step of the scientific method is to report or communicate the results of the investigation to others[2][3].
• First grade students learn that seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching are the five senses used to explore the world[1][2].
• A common example of a scientific observation for young children is noticing that an ice cube melts faster on a metal tray than on a plate[3].
• A common experiment for first graders involves testing which objects sink or float in water[1].
• Scientists use notebooks or charts to record their findings and observations during an investigation[1][2].
