-Identify the Question: the question that is trying to be solved is identified by the teacher and the students -generate Hypothesis: Students create a hypothesis to lead their attempt to solve the problem. -Gather and Display Information: Students gather information related to their hypothesis and prepare to share the information. -Assess Hypotheses and Generalize: Students organize the information based on their hypothesis and create a discussion guided by the teacher

-Assess to see if the students learned the scientific method -Have the students discuss their information they have learned and researched based on their hypothesis. -Ask questions to see if the students have learned how to solve a problem.

-Students will have learned how to solve a problem -Students will have learned how to create a hypothesis and how to add a deeper understanding to the hypothesis they have created -Learning how to use the scientific method
