Think of a question or a problem...

Which shoes make me faster?

​

Make a hypothesis (guess)....

I think tennis shoes will be the fastest....  I will compare them with my other shoes: Snow boots, Flip flops (different shoes are your variables)

​

Experiment!

Run the same distance in each pair of shoes. Keep data or a journal to record what happens. Try to keep conditions the same if possible (same distance, same surface) with different shoes (which is the variable).

​

Interpret your data and solve your problem! 

When the times are compared, I ran the fastest in gym shoes. I proved my guess right!

​

Make graphs/charts and report data/conclusion

 I ran the fastest in gym shoes by 5 seconds! I proved my guess right! In the future, I will run in gym shoes in stead of flip flops
