You could find the answer the answer to many questions with the scientific method. Like a crime detective, you can use the steps in the scientific method to answer everyday problems. For example you pick up a flashlight and turn it on, but the light does not work. You have observed that the light does not work this is step one of the scientific method. You ask the question, Why doesn't it work? This is step two of the scientific method. With what you already know about flashlights, you might guess (hypothesize) that the batteries are dead this is step three of the scientific method. You say to yourself, if I buy new batteries and replace the old ones in the flashlight, the light should work (a prediction). To test this prediction you replace the old batteries with new ones from the store. You flip the switch on (step five). Does the flashlight work?

hypothesis is the most important step about the process and you would have to preform the method to test what you were working on to figure out if it will work or not but you wanted to switch something you would preform a hypothesis.

You could use the scientific method to answer why humans can't fly. My question is why don't humans have wings. My hypothesis is I think we can't fly because we have no wings to help us fly without getting hurt. My experiment is I would jump off a bridge into water without wings and see how good I can fly and the jump off with a parachute and see how fast I will fall.

1. What makes leaves fall from trees?

2. I think it is because of how cold it is and the wind in the area that the tree is in.

3. For my experiment you would need you would need two trees and one needs to be left outside and one needs to be put in a warm inclosed space. Then, you would see which one had the leaves fall quicker or see which one had leaves fall at all.
