Scientific Method Wheel

The scientific method is a process students recite but don't always use. Spin for a step and have them explain it in their own words, or apply it to an investigation you're planning together. It turns an abstract list into a discussion. Edit the entries to the version of the method your course teaches.

Scientific Method Wheel questions

There are more than the classic steps here — why?

The defaults include variables, error, and improvements because those are where real inquiry lives. Trim to the core steps by editing the list if you want the simple version.

Can I use it while planning a real experiment?

Yes — spin through the steps in order as a checklist, discussing how each applies to the investigation the class is about to run.
