Using the scientific method student will be able to apply the process to create a successful science project. The process becomes a sure method that can be followed and will make it easier to succeed. Begin by making an observation, then formulate a question and then you will have a Hypothesis which translates into the answer to your question. You can make a prediction of what you think you will find if you do a variation of the experiment.
