Study Notes

The Scientific Method is a process used by scientists to ask and answer scientific questions through observations and experiments.
There are six steps to follow in the Scientific Method: asking a question, making observations, forming a hypothesis, designing an experiment, analyzing data, and drawing a conclusion.
Observations involve studying the topic carefully, and a hypothesis is an educated guess about how something works that must be testable.
When designing an experiment, it is important to only test one variable at a time while keeping everything else constant.
The Scientific Method helps in logically solving problems and answering questions, leading to important discoveries about the world and prompting further exploration.
