This learning resource focuses on applying the scientific method through a hands-on experiment known as the String Phone Lab. Students are guided through the six key steps of the scientific method: asking a question, conducting research, forming a hypothesis, testing through experimentation, analyzing results, and drawing conclusions. The experiment serves as a practical illustration of how sound travels through solid objects like string and cups, encouraging students to investigate sound vibrations and their transmission. Throughout the process, students will learn to formulate predictions, collect observations, and reflect on their findings, enhancing their understanding of fundamental scientific principles.
