Answer to Question 1

The scientific method is not just for scientists. The scientific method is a paradigm
(model) for problem-solving that is very useful in everyday life. The ability to make
observations about a problem, formulate a question, and test the relationship
between the variables in order to solve a problem is an important practical skill for
everyone. An agriscientist will find that the scientific method will help solve almost
any practical problem that arises.



Answer to Question 2

(1) Make observations.
(2) Ask a question.
(3) Formulate a hypothesis (which includes information from observations).
(4) Make a prediction.
(5) Design an experiment (to test the prediction).
(6) Evaluate the results of the experiment.
(7) Hypothesis supported or rejected (?).
(8) Redefine your hypothesis (based on the experimental results).



Answer to Question 3

Measure the pH level of the pond. Count the fish present or add a set number of fish
to the pond. Monitor the pH level and record the number of fish that die each day.
After 2 weeks, add chemicals to raise or lower the pH. Continue to record the fish
deaths and keep the pH at the adjusted levels.
