All objects in orbit must follow the path of an ellipse (one of Keplers laws)
1- You should always have a question for your experiment.
2- You need to conduct background research. It helps to write down your sources so you can cite your references.
3- Propose a hypothesis (educated guess on what you believe the outcome of the experiment will be)
4- Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis (include independent and dependent variable)
5- Record observations and analyze what the data means.
6- Conclude whether you need to accept or reject your hypothesis, which accepting means your hypothesis was right and rejected is if it was wrong.
