    While we are here to give you help, we will not do your work for you. Tell us what you think they are.

    Okay, can you tell e if some are right? Here I go...

    Make an observation, form a hypothesis, do an experiment, and accept a hypothesis or reject it.

    Anything right??

    There's only one scientific method, and those are parts of it, things you do to prove something. You are still missing some parts. Do you have class notes or a textbook?

    Are you homeschooled? Do you know how to Google?

    It wasn't difficult to figure out. :)

    When I Google "scientific method" (without the quote marks), the entire first page lists sites that tell what the parts of it are. Try again!

    The rules of the site do not allow us to do your homework for you. You will never learn if you don't study and you can't take us with you to a test.

    Most of us did our homework before the internet was around. We studied, just like you should.

    Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

    We won't do your homework questions for you.
    You were given the assignment for you to learn.

    If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

    If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
    But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

    Thank you.

    We will give you guidance such as you have been given, but we will not give you the answer. A very quick internet search will give you the answer. It will also give you more resources for other questions. We will be here to help you work through what you do not understand but we rely on you to do the work.

    Have you ever heard of the old saying about teaching a man to fish?

    Sorry, but as was mentioned... contrary to what you believe, these sites aren't for doing your homework assignments.

    Cheating never helps you past today... tomorrow you will have an assignment that builds on this one which you won't understand because you didn't understand this one. Part of the education process is to learn how to find answers to things you don't know... beyond asking someone else , who might give you the wrong answer all too often. Either to be funny, or because they don't know the right one to begin with.
