• Observation: Scientists observe phenomena and gather data, which often leads to questions about how or why something occurs.

• Question: Based on observations, a specific question is formulated that needs to be answered.

• Hypothesis: A hypothesis is a testable statement or prediction about the relationship between variables. It provides a possible explanation that can be tested.

• Experiment: Scientists design and conduct experiments to test the hypothesis. Experiments must be controlled to ensure that only the variable of interest is being tested.

• Data Collection: Data are collected from the experiments. This may involve measurements, observations, and sometimes even repeated trials to ensure accuracy.

• Analysis: The data are analyzed to determine if they support or refute the hypothesis. This often involves using statistical methods to interpret the results.

• Conclusion: Based on the data, scientists conclude whether the hypothesis was correct or incorrect. If the hypothesis is refuted, they may revise it or propose a new one.

  
  

The Scientific Method is what we need to follow when doing a research.

I want to know how to use it in my classes.

How can hands-on scientific inquiry and experiments support language practice and development?

• This question aims to find ways to use scientific activities (experiments, observations, discussions) as opportunities for students to practice and reinforce language skills in a meaningful context, promoting both engagement and learning.

What scientists use to explore observation

Now, I learned that there are many different ways of using the Scientific Method, from paper absortion to computing.

Action-Oriented Approach suggests: real-life situations,active participations, decision-making tasks, and active learning.

It is collaborative.

We need to use real-life situations.

Critical thinking and problem-solving skills need to be involved.

I learned about the Scientific Method and how it is related to teaching. It was nice meeting my group partners. We were talking about today´s topics. I loved it.

Collaboration is important.

This is definitely student centered.

Critical thinking is a must.

Oriented Approach based incorporate projects that combine with STEAM and language skills.
