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!
