THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD



STEP 1: Choosing a Problem or Question

Tip #4:

Your question must be one that is safe to investigate.

You may not investigate a question that would involve putting yourself, someone else, or an animal in any danger. Be sure to think your question through by asking yourself what materials or actions would be involved in completing the experiment. If your experiment would require dangerous chemicals, tools, apparatus, or procedures, you should think of another question.
