Science Demo for Teaching Scientific Method

Teaching the scientific method will be big matter for every teacher all around the world. Understanding the scientific method is not only necessary for becoming professional scientist or researcher. In fact, scientific method is necessary for solving various kinds of problem of life. That is why it is necessary for the children understanding the scientific method. It must be so much better for them to learn this method in fun way. The fun way for learning scientific method actually can be done at home. Nevertheless, the scientific method can also be taught to the children at school in fun way.

Teaching Scientific Method


Science demo can be used as effort for teaching the scientific method. The teacher at school is able to model the scientific method. He or she can lead the science experiment which use magnets for instance. First of all, the students can watch the scientific method movie. Next, the explanation about the experiments with magnet can be done after the movie. Students will have good understanding about the ability of magnet for attracting the objects which are made from iron. It will not be that easy for sure because the students should make question about magnets. The questions can be varied for sure including the capability of the magnet for attracting thing after cutting it in half.


The questions of the students should be written on the board. Then, there will be one question which will be chosen to be investigated together. The hypothesis from the students should be written down as well. The plan of experiment should be done together with the students for sure. The children should write the clear plan of experiment. It should also be completed with the steps which are easy and short. The materials needed should also be listed for the experiment. The experiment can be done together with the students for sure. The students must not forget to write down the data collected from the experiment. Different ways for collecting data can be done. The discussion about the right time for using different method should be done as well. The data should be analyzed then for drawing the conclusion. That is simple way for teaching the scientific method.
