The scientific method is something you probably use in your life more often than you realize, often without even thinking of it! Consider a choice you would like to make in the near future. Here are a few examples:

Picking a new recipe to cook/restaurant to try, playing/buying a new game/phone/electronic device; picking an outfit for an important event; etc.Create a mini-journal where you explicitly make a decision based on the scientific method. For each step, describe what you did. Where possible, note how different or similar using the actual scientific method is to the way you’d make your choice even outside of this exercise. After completing item #7, be sure to also include a short paragraph (three sentences) evaluating whether using the scientific method led you to a different result than you might have if you weren’t doing this exercise, including explaining why or why not.
