<span>Ask a Question: The scientific method starts when you ask a question about something that you observe: How, What, When, Who, Which, Why, or Where? </span>
<span>And, in order for the scientific method to answer the question it must be about something that you can measure, preferably with a number. </span>
<span>Do Background Research: Rather than starting from scratch in putting together a plan for answering your question, you want to be a savvy scientist using library and Internet research to help you find the best way to do things and insure that you don't repeat mistakes from the past. </span>
<span>Construct a Hypothesis: A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work: </span> <span>"If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen." </span>
<span>You must state your hypothesis in a way that you can easily measure, and of course, your hypothesis should be constructed in a way to help you answer your original question. </span>
<span>Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment: Your experiment tests whether your hypothesis is true or false. It is important for your experiment to be a fair test. You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change only one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same. </span>
<span>You should also repeat your experiments several times to make sure that the first results weren't just an accident. </span>
<span>Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion: Once your experiment is complete, you collect your measurements and analyze them to see if your hypothesis is true or false. </span>
<span>Scientists often find that their hypothesis was false, and in such cases they will construct a new hypothesis starting the entire process of the scientific method over again. Even if they find that their hypothesis was true, they may want to test it again in a new way. </span>
<span>Communicate Your Results: To complete your science fair project you will communicate your results to others in a final report and/or a display board. Professional scientists do almost exactly the same thing by publishing their final report in a scientific journal or by presenting their results on a poster at a scientific meeting. </span>
A person would have to consider Harriet' s upbringing in that time and imagine all the wrong doing she has seen regarding her parents care; therefore, witnessing her own care as a slave as well. It's no wonder that eventually, one would desire they're own true freedom.
