Study Notes
Scientific Method
- The scientific method is a systematic process used to develop and test scientific knowledge.
- It involves making an observation, formulating a hypothesis, and testing the hypothesis through experimentation and data analysis.
Purpose of an Experiment
- The purpose of conducting an experiment in the scientific method is to test a hypothesis and gather data to support or reject it.
Applications of the Scientific Method
- The scientific method can be applied in various areas, including physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology.
Types of Questions Answered
- The scientific method can answer questions that can be tested through experimentation and observation, such as "What happens if...", "How does...", and "Why does...".
Steps of the Scientific Method
- After making an observation, the next step is to formulate a question based on the observation.
- This is followed by researching the topic, formulating a hypothesis, and then predicting the outcome of an experiment.
