Scientific Method Steps
First step to the Scientific Method
State the Problem or ask a question
What is the suggested solution to a problem?
Hypothesis

volume
17.2 L = mL
17200 mL
What do we use to measure volume
graduated cylinder
How is a hypothesis phrased?
If......then.....
What part of the experiment does not change?
