The first step of the scientific method is to question. After a question is formed, a hypothesis naturally follows. The next step is to design an experiment that will test your hypothesis and conclude results. A proper experiment should have a control group, an independent variable, and a dependent variable. Once you have finished planning your experiment, you carry out your experiment and collect data. From your data, you should be able to draw conclusions and decide whether your hypothesis was supported or not supported. Then you share your results and spread new information :)
