1. EMPIRICAL REASONING

How do I prove it?

This goal is to think like a scientist: to use empirical evidence and a logical process to make decisions and to evaluate hypotheses. It does not reflect specific science content material, but instead can incorporate ideas from physics to sociology to art theory.

  • What idea do I want to test? (essential question)
  • What has other research shown?
  • What is my hypothesis? How can I test it?
  • What information (data) do I need to collect?
  • How will I collect the information?
  • What will I use as a control in my research?
  • How good is my information?
  • What are the results of my research?
  • What error do I have?
  • What conclusions can I draw from my research?
  • How will I present my results?
