Develop your understanding of the components of the scientific method.

You will be using the following scenario (see below) to apply the steps of the scientific method. Background: Let’s explore the scientific method. Here is the scenario: We are planting a garden. We have a variety of bulbs and potted plants. We do not have any directions on how or when to plant each of these items. We do not have any gardening books, magazines, or access to the Internet (Oh, the horror!). We need to observe a number of characteristics for these plants. What are some of the characteristics that we want to observe? What might be your initial hypothesis for growing these? How would you set up an experiment to test your hypothesis? Identify the variables involved. Once you design your experiment, apply what you know about the scientific method to analyze the set-up of your classmate’s experiments. How would you modify their design and what questions would you ask? Make sure to come back to the discussions later to respond to the questions proposed by your classmates on your experiment. Assignment (what to do): Use online sources to learn/review the scientific method. Summarize the roles of the following terms: observations, hypothesis, experiment, model, variables and theories. Remember to cite your sources in APA style. Write an Introductory paragraph that identifies the purpose/objective of the experiment and briefly summarize the topic that you are investigating. Include any major information that is necessary to understand the purpose of the lab. Make sure to clearly identify which hypothesis you would measure in your experiment. Then, provide a detailed list of steps you would carry out in this experiment as your Procedures section. Be specific!
