Study Notes
Scientific Method Process
- Begin with a question based on observations.
- Formulate a hypothesis predicting the answer based on prior knowledge.
- Develop a plan detailing the steps and materials needed to test the hypothesis.
- Execute the experiment to test the hypothesis.
- Document data collected and the procedures followed.
- Draw conclusions regarding the hypothesis based on the gathered data.
