Busy being important and busy

This is for v. important fic research TRUFAX.

You know in school when you were in science class and not trying to surreptitiously light the bunsen burner with your friend's bic so you can set her troll doll's hair on fire. (What? Just me then?) So, you're actually working and you had to set out your science experiment a certain way - like writing OBJECTIVE and then some other stuff?

Does anyone remember how you had to set it out?

I don't, but that might have something to do with me dropping Biology in Grade 11 because the book was too heavy.

Maybe.

I have vague recollections of things like:

Title
Hypothesis
Apparatus
Method
Results
Conclusion


That's not exact, though.

Hahahaa... if you knew the story I was writing you would know how funny apparatus is in this context. :D

This is almost exactly how I did it in school; I think that we had 'Aim' or 'Objective' instead of 'Hypothesis'

Wow, they just like rewent over this in my training today for corrective actions. Like I wasn't hammered enough with that in school. *headpalm*

Anyways have you tried wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method)?

That's where I was going next but I trusted the brains of my flist to save me, y'know, actually having to look it up myself... hee!

Objective,
Hypothesis,
Procedure,
Data,
Data Analysis,
Conclusion.

Or anyway, that's how we did it in Chemistry/Physics.

Ooooh, I like that. Nice and simple!

Yes, this is approximately how you set up a science experiment. At least, that's how I teach it, anyway.

You can try googling Scientific Method if that doesn't work.
