The best way to teach the Scientific Method is to do it through actual experimentation. You will find a variety of common, simple to do experiments in this packet that use easy to get supplies. These are supplies that I have found parents often have around their house and are willing to donate.

For each activity, I have created a variety of materials to help you. Teacher Notes pages, student directions pages, reading passages to grab students attention, journal prompts, lab report pages, graphing pages, question pages, links to online videos, etc. Everything you need, minus supplies, is in this packet to allow you to teach scientific method using a hands-on approach. No scrambling through teacher books or spending hours online. Everything has been gathered already, tweaks made, and uploaded for a complete, hand-on unit.
