Long version[]
This version is sung only in Jet Cooks Dinner.
Sean:
If you're trying to solve a problem
Let me be specific
You've got to use the method that's scientific
All:
Scientific method
The scientific method
Sean: (spoken)
One!
Sean:
Ask a question
Based on observations
Observe, ask, look around
Accept no limitations
All: (spoken)
Two!
Sean:
Make a prediction
An idea that you can test
That's your hypothesis
It's a kind of careful guess
All: (spoken)
Three!
Sean:
Experiment!
Experiment!
And never let it rest
See if your hypothesis can pass the test
All: (spoken)
Four!
Sean:
Observe what happens
And gather information
Look for any data
That could give an explanation
Accurately measure
With the tools you have around
Then get a pencil, make a list
Don't forget to write it down
All: (spoken)
Five!
Sean:
Draw conclusions
About the things you saw
And see if a solution makes you say
All:
Aha!
All: (spoken)
Six!
Sean:
You got results
What did you discover?
Well, share your findings
And get the word to others
You solved the problem
In a way that's just terrific
You used the method that's scientific
All:
Scientific method
Sean: (spoken)
That's what I said!
All:
The scientific method
Sean: (spoken)
You're paying attention.
All:
The scientific method
Sean: (spoken)
Oh, yes.
All:
The scientific method
