Computer programming and the scientific method

[BethC]

I viewed two of the Science Buddies science fair projects for computer programming that I'm having difficulty identifying the set up of the scientific method using hypothesis to conclusions. One was using Scratch to create the Cat vs. Dog chase game, the other was interviewing your classmates to design a future city and program it in Sim City. What are examples of using the scientific method on these two science fair experiments?

That’s often a challenge with computer projects. Here is a good article on Science Buddies that compares the traditional scientific method with the engineering design process: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-f ... ring.shtml

I think that will help you get started in the right direction.
