There have been many scientists that have made contributions to science that have changed our lives:

Nicholas Copernicus: The Sun is at the center of our solar system.Sir Isaac Newton: Laws of motion and moreMichael Faraday: The development of the electric motorLouis Pasteur: Bacteria is killed by heat and disinfectants.Sir Alexander Fleming: Discovered penicillin

We would still think that the world was flat. The light bulb wouldn’t have been invented. We wouldn’t have landed on the Moon. We wouldn’t have the cure for many

diseases. We wouldn’t have cell phones or computers. We wouldn’t have tires, engines, heating

and cooling for homes, or electricity.

Scientists think of an idea that might be developed into a problem for experimental research.

Scientists then research and learn more about the idea before identifying a problem.

Your assignment is to: Decide on a topic. Research the topic . Acquire enough information to develop a

problem for experimental research.

You will be following some steps as you work on

your experimental design.

All of the steps are not done in order;

sometimes, you’ll need to cycle back to an

earlier step.

You will complete a lab report to share your

results with others.
