1- You should always have a question for your experiment. 2- You need to conduct background research. It helps to write down your sources so you can cite your references. 3- Propose a hypothesis (educated guess on what you believe the outcome of the experiment will be) 4- Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis (include independent and dependent variable) 5- Record observations and analyze what the data means. 6- Conclude whether you need to accept or reject your hypothesis, which accepting means your hypothesis was right and rejected is if it was wrong.
