The Scientific Method Quiz

Scientific Method Overview

• The first step of the scientific method is observation, where researchers identify a phenomenon or problem to investigate.
• Forming a hypothesis serves as a testable prediction that provides a proposed explanation for the observation.
• Data analysis and interpretation occur in the step where results are gathered from experiments, helping to determine whether the hypothesis is supported or refuted.
• The third step of the scientific method is experimentation, involving the testing of the hypothesis through controlled procedures.
• The final step is conclusion, where researchers summarize findings, state whether the hypothesis was supported, and discuss implications or future research directions.
