    Study Notes

    Scientific Method Fundamentals

    • A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or assumption made to explain a phenomenon, which can be tested and proven or disproven through experimentation.

    The Scientific Method Process

    The Role of Research

    • Research is crucial as it allows scientists to gather data, test hypotheses, and draw conclusions to answer questions and solve problems.

    The Scientific Method Steps

    • The last step in the scientific method is to draw a conclusion, which involves analyzing the data collected, determining whether it supports or rejects the hypothesis, and communicating the results.

    Background Research

    • Background research in the scientific method involves gathering and reviewing existing knowledge and data related to the topic or question, helping to identify gaps and formulate hypotheses.
