Today I was challenged to have a poem about The Scientific Method in slam style on my blog by 10 p.m. Challenge complete!
In case you’ve forgotten the components…
Scientific method-
- Recognize problem
- Define problem
- formulate hypothesis
- collect data
- analyze data
- confirm or disconfirm hypothesis
THE POEM:
Recognize the problem
form definition of the complication
formulation, computation,
I hypothesize;
I strategize.
All the data I analyze
analyze
analyze.
I synthesize the truth of this
have I confirmed my hypothesis?
If not, then I begin again
Being careful of instability,
endeavour to control variabilities
Recognition of the definition
controlling the conditions
again I must hypothesize
strategize, and analyze.
Circles spin, cycle again, once more begin!
The method of the scientists
consists always of the hypothesis,
that’s altered, trimmed, and twisted,
Endless scientific fight to determine
which truths are right!

Wow! I could truly hear this one out loud! Awesome job.
Good! It’s meant to be read aloud. 🙂
That was ever so smart!!! ❤️❤️ hats off to you shawn.. 😁😁😁
Thank you!
Spectacular!
Thanks, Andy!
We battle over who is right,
Because a kernel of truth exists on each side
It is said the truth is relative
All the more because we are so delicate
Delicate.
very nice
So great and accurate! You must be a scientist as well as writer!
So not. 🙂
:)) I am, and the scientific method frustrates the living mess out of me! Thanks for writing this though, maybe it will help me think of the method with more fondness…
lol
Brilliant.
Thanks.
Trust you to take on this challenge and right at the end of the school year to boot! We need to find a few students to present this piece at ERS next year. Keep on writing, Shawn. P.S. Your proud principal shared this with me.
lol. I’m glad he enjoyed it. Perhaps we can make a video next year. I’ve ordered some puppets from Emily for September. 🙂
As a scientist, this speaks to me quite loudly, and somehow captures everything I experience. Good work!
Good!
