The STEM Research Process is used to inspire, answer, then inspire even more questions regarding our surrounding environment, how it works, and how it may respond to changes. The stages of the process can be cyclical, out of order or focused more on one stage than the next: it all depends on the individual research project. The different elements to the research generally all follow the same flow, which is as follows:
- Research Ideas/Design (Planning) - What do you want to research and how do you think you want to do it?
- Background Info - What have other people done with relation to your topic? What is there to learn from them?
- Map It Out - Hypothesis, Methods, Pretrials, etc.
- The Fun Stuff - Conduct your experiment
- Graph It - Organize your data into graphs, or representation that may be easier to analyze
- Interpret the Data - Write down what you think all of the information means and how it relates to your hypothesis. What could have happened to make it this way? Could
you change anything to make it different next time?
- Report Results - Broadcast it through presentations, posters, books, websites, etc. What good is doing a research project if you don't tell other people what you've
discovered?
- Back to the beginning with an idea of what could change the outcome!
