## Lyrics

### 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
