[] []    **__ The Scientific Method __** The Scientific Method is the procedure you use to create an experiment.

=
The scientific method consists on observing, something asking a question about that observation, creating a statement about that question, a prediction and then testing that prediction. But if the test proves that your statement turns out wrong you have to go back and try testing it again with a new prediction/hypothesis. Examples of thesis are; observation, I found a shell that was pink on a beach, and on another I found the same type of shell but white. Question, why i__s__ one pink and another white? Hypothesis, if I get a white shell from one beach and a pink shell from another then the white shell will not go pink but the pink shell will go white. Prediction: in the hypothesis. Test: doing an experiment to test the prediction. If wrong go back and create a new hypothesis/prediction. very good discription could use more elaboration but otherwise it is good ﻿a few changes needed. A few grammar errors but otherwise it was good :) __i think it was good but you could add a little bit more detail about how exactly you would test your theory.__

Comparing the websites most of the websites say different things about the scientific method. Some different websites say observation and question in a different order and others prediction and question. ﻿could use some more writing didn't say much about it though partialy answers question ﻿give a little bit more explenation. ﻿Could use more description :)

Scientists use the scientific method with using to create test for cures in illnesses or in using the method for creating using new inventions. Just like Albert Einstein invented the light bulb using the scientific method. __good. your sentences are a bit jumbled but i see what you mean by how they use the scientific method. i was a bit confused with what you meant in the first sentence.__ it answers the question quite directly Once again, a few grammar and punctuation errors and the sentence is quite confusing.

I use the scientific method outside the classroom while try__ing__ to create thing__s__ like spud guns to even creating ramps so I try new things with setting up the scientific method it usually help when I am creating the ramps and spud guns. For example creating questions, observations and even tests but usually I wouldn’t realize it because you really don’t thing about it while you are doing it. good it has more writing that other ones it and the one below it answer quite discriptivley __i like how you said you used the scientific method when creating for example ramps because i know it is something that you would do and that even though you don't realize it you are using the scientific method. (observing how it went wrong etc..)__ This was good. I like how you used actual examples : ) The scientific method is usually not thought of while you try something new but even though you don’t think of it you usually do it anyway that whole processes goes through your head.

**__Does pre-soaking seeds affect the germination and growth of plants?__**
 * Observations: ** when I planted a few plants before websites always tell me to pre-soak the seeds because it says that they will grow faster.


 * Hypothesis: ** if I get 20 seeds and take 10 and I will pre-soak them then the other half I will not pre-soak, then the seeds that where pre-soaking will grow faster.

· 20 seeds · Water 1 cup · Soil · 10 Pots A – J · 10 Labels · 2 Ruler
 * Materials: **

1. Get 10 seeds and put them in a cup of water. 2. Label pots A – J. 3. Get soil and put it in 10 pots (does not matter on size). 4. Get soaked seeds and put in towel and dry. 5. Get 2 seeds from towel and put in pot A. 6. 2 more seeds from towel and put in pot B est.  7. A - E  8. Then do that same thing with un soaked seeds. 9. F - J 10. Get the ruler and plant in the pots.
 * Procedure: **


 * Independent Variable: ** Pre-soaked seeds


 * Dependent Variable: ** The height of the plant


 * Experimental Group: ** The seeds Pre-soaked


 * Control Group: ** The seeds un soaked
