The six steps of the scientific method include: 1) asking a question about something you observe, 2) doing background research to learn what is already known about the topic, 3) constructing a hypothesis, 4) experimenting to test the hypothesis, 5) analyzing the data from the experiment and drawing conclusions, and 6) communicating the results to others.

Make Observations, pose a question, form a Hypothesis, test Hypothesis, draw Conclusion, communicate the results- these are the six steps of a scientific investigation. The first and foremost step of a scientific investigation is to make observations.

The scientific method has five basic steps, plus one feedback step: Make an observation. Ask a question. Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation. Make a prediction based on the hypothesis. Test the prediction. Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions.

At the heart of all sciences, there lies a problem-solving approach known as the scientific method. The scientific method has basic procedures as follows: Make an observation. Ask a question. Form a hypothesis. Make predictions based on the hypothesis. Test the prediction. Iterate: Use a new hypothesis or prediction.
