1. Identify a problem
2. Formulate a hypothesis
3. Design an experiment

1) Identify a problemExample: “Many students forget to water the class plants, causing them to wilt.”2) Formulate a hypothesis “If we set phone reminders at 4:00 p.m. and assign a rotating ‘plant monitor,’ then the plants will stay healthier because they will be watered regularly.”3) Design an experimentVariables:Independent: use of reminders + plant monitor systemDependent: plant health (height, number of leaves, leaf color)Controlled: type of plant, pot size, soil, sunlight locationProcedure:Measure initial height/leaf count of 4 identical plants.For two weeks, Group A (2 plants) uses reminders + monitor; Group B (2 plants) does not.Water all plants with the same amount (but Group B only when someone remembers).Record height/leaf changes every other day; photograph leaves for color/texture.Expected result: Group A shows better growth and fewer wilted leaves.
