Begin with understanding the scientific method:

Purpose: The reason why you want to find out the answer to a question.
Hypothesis: What do you think will happen?
Materials and Procedures: What do you need and what will you do to find out the answer to your question, or "test" your hypothesis?
Data Collection: Write down everything you observe during your experiments and organize your data so that it is clear.
