belt loop question

[bear dad]

Hello,

have a question about a belt loop requirement for scienist. It say to Explain the Scientific method to adult partner, what is it? maybe i just not sure what it refers too and not sure if it means a different method for different studies? could some one shed some light on it for me, Thanks

The scientific method is the method used for all scientific studies, though in various forms. anyway, in its simplest form it is:

 

Observe

Form a hypotheses

Make predictions

Perform an experiment

 

At least that's what I remember from classes in high school.

The Scientific Method is fully explained on the pages for the Science belt loop in the BSA Cub Scout Academics and Sports Guide book. This is why is is a good thing to have a copy of the actual book on hand.

 

The National Scout Shop (Scoutstuff) has a copy of the 2007 Guide that you can download from their customer service section -

It does not have the new loops/pins of course, but is a great resource on its own.

US Scouts also had a worksheet that you could do but it seems to be down at the moment. I have a copy on my computer.
