Science Experiments

Still wondering exactly what using the Scientific Method is like? Below are some quick examples of Scientific Method at work….

Scientific Method example 1

Question: Does nitrogen help to make corn grow better?

Hypothesis: Sweet corn planted in sandy loam in planters in the laboratory and treated with 2 grams of urea per liter of water will show a significant increase in height at two weeks after germination as compared with a control planting.

Scientific Method example 2

Question: Can mice grow normally if they are fed only dried peas?

Hypothesis: White mice born in a cage and fed only whole dried peas will make normal growth to age 60 days as compared with a control group fed Brand K mouse food.

Your hypothesis should be stated definitely so that it can honestly be tested.
