Scientific Method Song - -NOW WITH CLOSED CAPTION SO YOU CAN SING ALONG! Mr. Edmonds -

This remake of my former parody with the same name is about some basic steps in the scientific method for experimental study. It is to the tune of "Bend Me, Shape Me" written by Scott English and Larry Weiss. It was a recorded hit by "The American Breed". I have always loved this song's beat and melody and was happy to use this tune for the song about the steps in experimental investigation.

(In the song, I use the word "data" as a mass noun instead of a count noun so I am using a singular verb in the usage.).

Here are the words to the song:
An experimental study requires you to follow
steps in a process, get some basics right now!
You narrow down a problem, express it in question form.
Then the main variables, you identify!

(short instrumental)

The independent variable's the one, you test or manipulate (echo).
The dependent variable's the measure in response to what you change (echo).
Don't forget all the constants, the things you must keep the same.
So you are just testing that one thing that YOU change!

Next you do research on both variables,
to make a prediction you need to be well informed.
You write a hypothesis, including both variables
The first clause starts with if, the second with then.

(short instrumental)

Gather your materials and think of the steps you will follow (echo).
Write down those procedures and start by making your data table (echo).
It must have labels and units, now you can experiment,
present your results in tables and graphs.

Look at the results and come to a conclusion,
Did the data support your hypothesis?
Back up your claim citing data that you gathered.
It either SUPPORTS or IT DOES NOT SUPPORT!

Point out where you had experimental errors that
could have affected, the outcomes you got.
Name some things you'd do a little differently
if you repeated this experiment!

Hey sounds like you're off to a great START!

I've been searching for this for so long and now I actually needed it due to conceptual physics. I remember eighth grade watching this, good times. Thank you for the memory of this!

I am now retired from teaching as of June 10, 2019. I will miss my students who went to Wood Oaks Junior High School and who have gone on to Glenbrook North High School. I am now living in the Bellevue, Wa/ Issaquah, WA vicinity. If your teachers ever use my videos and you go to Bellevue or Issaquah schools, just let me know. Thanks! Mr. Edmonds

I love using your videos in my classes. They're amazing, catchy, and full of information and vocabulary. It cracks me up when I see students walking down the hallway hours later, singing the song to themselves because it's stuck in their head! And they ALWAYS sing it to themselves and do hand motions (the bottom, the bottom, the bottom, the bottom of the meniscus, the meniscus...lol) to remember when taking a quiz.

My science teacher told us about your videos and everybody sings to them all

[aletadamm]

My seventh grade students love your videos. Thanks for helping my students make connections

[dsecms]

That is super! Thanks for the comments!

[JessyYee]

i love you my science teacher always used to dance when she showed us these!

[gagejohnson]

I watched your other video, great info!!!

[HankDeTank]

awesome song very catchy!
p.s. i am in your science class second period 2013-2014

[ilovethebratz]

I like this video bcuz i learn from it and its hilarious. I want snap that fast

[KarmelRima]

id buy his album. Wish me luck on my quiz

[FirespysRealm]

[FirespysRealm]

Hey its Charlie in 3rd Period 8th Grade this year. I always watched these videos when I was bored and I would sing along every single time! I hope we will have a good year together. I'M READY FOR EXTRA CREDIT BY THE WAY!

[FoopetsMoshiBabydow]

You should make a scientific album or like make an app

[Hot_cheeto_slay_all_day]

My science teacher makes us watch these but there fr fire🔥🔥
