The process known as the scientific method gives scientists a format for engaging in a step-by-step approach to come up with a reasonable solution to a proposed hypothesis. It is important for students to understand and use the scientific method when solving problems and answering questions. This program identifies the steps of the scientific method and provides real-world examples of the scientific method being used to solve everyday problems. Part of the "Real World Science" series.

In Colorado, drilling for oil and natural gas using hydraulic fracturing, sometimes referred to as fracking, is big business. But questions about its impact on the air and water are far from settled. With support from the National Science Foundation, University of Colorado environmental engineer Joseph Ryan heads a team gathering data on the pros and cons of oil and natural gas development, including the use of hydraulic fracturing. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Two teenagers apply the scientific method to solving everyday problems: explaining a burned-out light bulb and exploring the possibility of falling toast landing jelly-side down. Defines terms and offers other examples to demonstrate the scientific method in use.
Students demonstrate the importance of emulsifiers in combining oil and water mixtures.
Presents general information about the scientific method and identifies its steps. Gives simple examples of how it is used in daily life and restates the steps several times.
Students demonstrate the scientific method as they explore what makes popcorn pop.
Uses practical examples to help students understand and use the components of the scientific method. Concepts and terminology: hypothesis, experiment, measuring, data, analysis, and conclusion.
A food science professor discusses the chemistry and physics of food preparation and cooking. She also gives an overview of a food science laboratory and its equipment.
What is fermentation? Students follow a recipe to make root beer and show the process of fermentation.
Explains where and when the scientific method originated and describes each of the five steps that comprise the method. Each step is broken down and explained through a series of scientific experiments.
Students demonstrate the process for making cheese and how the composition of milk aids the cheese making process.
Students demonstrate the relationship between taste and smell.
Students learn what makes science different from other disciplines. They also explore the many exciting career opportunities in the science filed. Concepts and terminology discussed include: observing, solving problems, health, career, education, and sharing information.
Carl Pennypacker at UC Berkeley runs Universe Quest, a summer program supported by the National Science Foundation to engage girls in science exploration. Some of the summer activities include: looking through a world-class telescope, going out to the beach to measure tides, and designing online games.
Is psychology a science? Two case studies are given to explore the different ways to approach psychology, and to help students formulate their own opinions. Part of the "Core Concepts in Psychology" series.
Presents a brief history of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as well as the significance of its work and mission in today’s world.
Students use potatoes to demonstrate the importance of washing hands and handling food.
The scientific method is the foundation of work for scientists. Explains the scientific method in detail serving as the basis for your science fair project. The process of creating a science fair project along with helpful hints for success is described. Other terminology includes: hypothesis, experiment, data, conclusion, data table, and graphing.
Race cars are loud. They don't have mufflers because mufflers will reduce the speed of the car. Spectators need to make sure they have adequate ear protection if they attend a NASCAR race. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on the steps of making scientifically sound observations. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
