Mold In High School
One day, in the summer, I noticed that I saw some mold growing on the in the basement. My family hired me to find out why the mold is only growing the the basement. I did some background research to help me draw a hypothesis. Then drew a hypothesis and I came up with: If there is mold growing in the summer, then the change of weather would kill the mold in the cold.

After I drew my hypothesis, I had to get testing my hypothesis. If then mold was thriving in the summer, then I had to put some in a cool environment. I scraped some mold that was growing on the wall, and put it into two dishes one for cool and one for warm. I put the come labeled cool in the refrigerator. And I kept the mold in the basement. After three days, I checked the mold in the chilly environment. I noticed a the mold has stopped growing. But, the mold in the basement did not stop. However, to prove my hypothesis, I redid the process of testing over again. After another three days in the refrigerator I declared my hypothesis correct.

But, if it is hot outside, the mold will start to grow. This is important because now I know why the mold is growing only in the summer. The scientific method helped me because I wouldn’t have be able to formally finish the experiment. I asked a question: why does the mold only grow in the summer, did research on mold, drew a hypothesis, tested my theory, analyzed my data, repeated the testing, and drew a

    During my investigation, I aimed to look at whether there is a difference in height of Brackens from a light area and a dark area due to light intensity. In order to carry out my investigation I needed to research into the different factors that affect the growth of the plant. I also planned and carried out preliminary investigations to make sure all the control variables are constant before I did the main investigation. I recorded my findings and did a statistical test on my data to see whether the data show a significant result.…

    In completing the Tomato Plant experiment I had to apply the scientific method. I observed that my tomato plants were producing less fruit each year. I then questioned some of the elements that may have affected the tomato plants and caused them to bear fewer tomatoes being a deficiency in warmth, water, or nutrients. I then selected my hypotheses that the plants were in need of more nutrients. Following my hypothesis I developed my prediction which was that my plants would bear more tomatoes if I was to replace the old soil with new soil before planting. I then concluded, based off of the graph depicting the number of tomatoes per plant, that my hypothesis was supported because; my predication was accurate and the plants grew more tomatoes after I had replaced the soil.…

    The point of this experiment is to disprove the spontaneous generation of maggots on meat. Could flies be responsible for maggot formation? Hypothesis is that they are. So, the experiment is set up to see if no maggots, in fact, will form without flies. For the experiment, two clean jars are set out on a clean board. Then I put mean into both jars, closed one jar with a tight seal but left the other one open, exposed to air and flies for four days. In the process of four days, observing both jars, meat in both jars was rotting, flies visited the meat that wasn’t protected. At the end of 4 days, I learned that the jar that was closed and protected from flies didn’t have maggots, while the other one that was exposed to air and flies visited the meat - had maggots.…

    The first step in the scientific method is to observe. When you are observing you are discovering what is going on around you. The second step in the scientific method is question. To question one must make an attempt to explain the observation that was made. The next step in the scientific method is making a hypothesis. A hypothesis is made to predict a solution and an outcome. The fourth step in the scientific method is making a prediction. When making a prediction you are indicating the outcome. Next is the conclusion. The conclusion details the findings of the testing. This then leads to the final step which is the results. The results are whether your findings based on the hypothesis…

    Through both experiments I observed the problem, questioned it, came up with one hypothesis, made a prediction, tired an experiment, came up with results and when I found my hypothesis was incorrect I came up with another and proceeded through the steps until my experiment was successful. Each time we do an experiment we get results. When our results aren’t working to our benefit we have to rethink. A new hypothesis must be made with the prediction of correct results. In both cases with the tomatoes and the car we learn from trial…

    The scientific method is the set of procedures that enable scientists and researchers to conduct investigations and experiments. Scientists observe an event and then form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an educated guess about how something works. These researchers then perform experiments that support the hypothesis or these experiments prove it wrong. A conclusions can be made from the investigations and experiments with the data collected and analyzed. The conclusion helps to prove or disprove validity of the hypothesis.…

    A scientist would initially observe and classify data. He would proceed to look for pattern in the data and formulate a hypothesis. Following this, the scientist would make a predication. The scientist would test this predictions through experiments. If the experimental results confirm the hypothesis, a scientific law has been discovered. The scientific method limits the influence of bias and prejudice in the experimenter. It provides an objective, standardized approach to conducting an experiment and, in doing…
