  1. 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?
