THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD



STEP 3: Designing an Experiment

Tip #4:

List all procedures in the order in which they will be completed

Once you decide which variables need to be controlled, what materials you will need, and how you will operationally define your variables, you must list all the procedures you need to complete in order to conduct the experiment.

Starting from the very beginning, list all of your procedures in order. Include many details. Include how you will control variables. Write down how you will measure your results.

Your finished procedures should be detailed so that anyone who wants to duplicate your experiment can do so simply by following your list.
