Why do we use the scientific method?

to answer questions about the world around us

After checking math & re-doing experiment, results still don't agree with hypoth. -what next?

Draw conclusions and develop a new question and experiment

Can a hypothesis be proved right or wrong?

No, there are no "right" or "wrong" answers in science

What is the difference between results and conclusion?

results= data, conclusions= how results relate to our world

What is the first thing you should do if your results don't agree with your hypothesis?
