You are now ready for the final steps of the scientific method which is to collect data and analyze. Let’s take a minute to review the steps that you have completed so far: observe, question, research, hypothesize, and experiment. Now you can collect the data, the information you learned from your experiment. You will then analyze, or use the results to help you understand what you think is happening. This will either confirm your hypothesis or cause you to draw a new conclusion!
Data collection is often completed using tally marks, bar graphs, and other charting methods. Here is a resource that might be helpful as you gather your information: Collection Data Elementary.
