This lesson covers scientific concepts related to Food Webs. Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and analysis.

The scientific method provides a framework for investigation: observe → ask a question → research → form a hypothesis → design and conduct an experiment → analyze data → draw conclusions → communicate results.

When designing an experiment, identify the independent variable (what you change), the dependent variable (what you measure), and the controlled variables (what you keep the same). A control group provides a baseline for comparison.

Always record observations carefully and accurately. Look for patterns in your data. Your conclusion should state whether the data supports or does not support your hypothesis.
