About this resource

This super basic Scientific Method Template is perfect for getting kids started with the scientific method and for teaching them about scientific research. There are two versions of the template, one with cute pictures and one without pictures. This template can and has been used for all ages up to high school and even adults for basic in-home and at school experiments.

Not only could you use this template in the kitchen for food science and baking experiments, for example, comparing the different weights between baking flours, but you can use it for basic chemistry, physics, life science, and more.

Kids can use it to jot their ideas down if they aren't sure what they want to do for their experiment or science research project. It is super easy to use and self-explanatory and would be a perfect brainstorming tool.

pdf downloadable file, 2 usable pages with cover sheet. Minimal ink needed.

Not age specific but may be especially useful for younger elementary and special education students. Also, for visual learners and kids who aren't reading yet (the template with the pictures tells the story without needing to read).
