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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Most people think of venom as something to be avoided at all costs since some animals use it to kill other animals or humans. But modern researchers now use scientific methods to study animal toxins, and they have discovered that the thousands of venom types on planet earth may help cure or control many human ailments from chronic pain to life-threatening bleeding to cancer and Parkinson's disease. Dramatizes worldwide case studies of venomous animals, their captures by scientists, and the laboratory processes that could create one man's cure from another creature's poison.
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.”
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the scientific theory. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.

Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term scientific law. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
The transfer of heat is one of the fundamentals of scientific inquiry. Using numerous examples of how heat transfer is used in everyday life, this program takes students on a journey through the mechanisms and practicalities of heat transfer, clearly explaining the mechanisms of conduction, convection, and radiation and introducing the concept of thermal capacity of an object.
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.
Weather forecasting has changed from a day-to-day guess based on local observation to a scientific method dependent on global data collected accurately, in detail, and at set times. Traces the progression of forecasting from data-collection methods to regional centers for computer plotting and analysis to prediction of weather for the next five to seven days. Includes why forecasting is important.
Students demonstrate the scientific method as they explore what makes popcorn pop.
This episode discusses the scientific method and the importance of using credible sources when conducting research. Other topics covered include control group, constants, independent variable, and dependent variable. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory conduct scientific investigations and engage in the engineering design process as part of their everyday operations. In this segment, they offer an overview of the five steps involved in creating science fair projects. Part of the “How to Do a Science Fair Project” series.
Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory give tips for presenting the final product of the experiment. In this segment, they offer suggestions for communicating the experiment and results in a way that will captivate an audience’s attention. Part of the “How to Do a Science Fair Project” series.
Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory discuss how to turn observations into a testable question. In this segment, they give examples of possible testable questions for students to use when thinking about their science fair project. Part of the “How to Do a Science Fair Project” series.
Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory discuss the importance of variables and design when conducting science fair projects. In this segment, they instruct students to conduct the experiment multiple times, and each trial should repeat in exactly the same manner. Part of the “How to Do a Science Fair Project” series.
