Oh, what do you think a scientist does
To solve a problem found because
Many scientists are scientists
‘Cause they’re great problem solvers

There is a systematic way
They go about ‘most every day
It’s methodical and it’s logical
The scientific method

Chorus: A way to solve a problem, a way, a way
The scientific method is a way to solve a problem
A way, a way, a way to solve a problem
A way, a way, a way to solve a problem

It may not seem important to you
But the first thing that they always do
Is state the problem or ask a question
So they know just what they’re after

Then they review everything involved
That might help get the problem solved
By reading, researching
And gathering information

Chorus

After both of these steps they take
They go ahead and then they make
An educated guess—a hypothesis—
A possible solution

Then they use scientific tools
To measure and test some variables
In experiments which are really meant
To give more information

Chorus

This information they call data
They put together so that later
They can analyze and synthesize
To see just what it all means

Only when they have done all these
Experiments testing hypotheses
Which may prove, or else disprove
Then they’ll state their conclusion

Chorus

This is the systematic way
A scientist may use any old day
‘Cause it’s methodical and it’s logical
The scientific method
