Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived a group of curious kids who loved to do experiments. They heard about the scientific method and wanted to try it out for themselves. So, they decided to conduct an experiment to predict the height of a beanstalk.

First, they formulated a hypothesis, "The height of the beanstalk is determined by the amount of sun it receives." Next, they made observations and recorded all the variables that could affect the growth of the beanstalk, like the amount of water and soil nutrients.

After a few days, they found that their prediction was right! The beanstalk grew taller as it received more sun. To prove their hypothesis, the kids conducted another experiment by changing the factor of sun exposure. They observed that the beanstalk grew shorter when it received less sun.

Based on their observations, the kids reached a conclusion that the amount of sun is indeed a determining factor in the growth of the beanstalk. They were proud of their scientific method and all their hard work paid off.

The end.

Reflections

1. What was the hypothesis the kids formulated in the story?
2. How did the kids prove their hypothesis about the growth of the beanstalk?
3. What did the kids conclude based on their observations?
4. How does the scientific method help the kids in their experiment?
5. Can you think of another experiment you can conduct using the scientific method?
