All of scientific research is based on the priniple of the Scientific Method.
1) I want you to think about the Scientific Method and post your thoughts on what would be a great defintion of it. The defintion should be in your own words.
2) List an example of how you have used the Scientific Method to solve a problem.

IIE Year Month and Day Blog Response
Suppose that you need to explain the concepts of a year, a month, and a day to a small child. Could you do this?
1) If you use the terms rotation, revolution, orbit, or any other term used specifically for astronomy, he/she might not know exactly what it means (Many adults wouldn't know what the terms mean either.) Be sure to explain these things as you go.
2) It would help if you related these concepts to things a 4-year-old would know about -- like Disney movies, Elmo from Sesame Street, Lego Duplo, Clifford the big red dog, etc.
For each concept (year, month, and day) describe the motion of the Earth, the moon, and the sun. Good luck.
