PROBLEM OBSERVATION HYPOTHESIS EXPERIMENTATION CONCLUSION

PROBLEM HYPOTHESIS EXPERIMENTATION OBSERVATION ANAYLISE CONCLUSION

These vary. I suggest you verify it. OBSERVATION QUESTION RESEARCH Argh, I believe I have forgotten. Sorry!

abstract? there are many different ways to give out the steps, but it is all generally the same, my version is... State the problem - what is the problem that you need to use the scientific method on. Make observations about your subject. Gather information - gather information relating to this problem; also list needed materials Hypothesis forming - an if, blah blah, then, blah blah statement that describes what your experiment is on Hypothesis testing (experiment) Date recording - record the data from the experiment in a graph or chart of some kind Data analysis - study the data Conclusion - use the data to write a paragraph on what you learned and how it relates to your hypothesis Repeatable experiment (not really a step, but) make sure the experiment is able to be repeated by someone else

I think that all the descriptions (well most anyway) that are written above are more-or-less correct, however I find it interesting that you've used the word "abstract" and perhaps you're confusing two different things. The "Abstract" is often the summary of a whole scientific journal artical. Often the "Title" and "Byline" (ie Author(s) name(s)) are listed before the Abstract. The "Introduction" tells the reader what research has been done in the past and provides background. This section can sometimes incorporate the "Aim" but doesn't always - sometimes it is separate (but very rarely). The "Method" provides the details on how the idea (the hypothesis) was tested. "Results" are the results that were gathered. "Discussion" is where the results are discussed and compared to the aim of the experiment and the work that was mentioned in the introduction. The "Conclusion" describes what the author thinks it all means and whether or not the hypothesis is supported by the results. The "References" section provides all of the information that you need to find the journal papers mentioned throughout all of the above sections and finally- The "Acknowledgements" is where the Author thanks those that helped and lets the reader know if any of the work listed above isn't stricly their own. I hope that helps
