Investigating Scientifically The Science Process
{"Image DocumentName": "Investigating Scientifically The Science Process", "Image ImageDescription": "Collect data. Make a prediction and design a procedure. Form an hypothesis. From observations, ask. a question or pose a problem. Analyse data and draw conclusions. Evaluate the. investigation. Publish. Find out what is currently known. Investigating. Scientifically. In Science and Technology K-6, students learn about the natural environment through the process of investigating scientifically. The investigating scientifically process involves students using the processes of observing, questioning, planning, predicting, testing, collecting , recording and analysing data to draw conclusions in order to develop a better understanding of the world around them. This process relies heavily, on first hand information. First hand information is information that students gather through their own observations and experimentation. The investigating scientifically process differs from the information research skills of defining, locating, selecting, organising, presenting and assessing. These research skills primarily involve students using second hand sources of information, such as books, journal articles, CD ROMs and internet browsing and searching. As students work through the investigating scientifically process, they develop an hypothesis, predict outcomes, and devise a procedure to test their hypothesis. The data collected during the investigation is analysed so that conclusions can be drawn. These elements distinguish a scientific investigation from all other forms of investigating.
