Study Notes

Scientific Process Steps

  • Observation: The first step involves using tools like microscopes or telescopes to gather data about the world, enabling scientists to identify phenomena or problems worth investigating.
  • Questions: Asking questions drives the scientific process; it helps focus the inquiry, defines the scope of investigation, and paves the way for developing hypotheses.
  • Hypothesis: A hypothesis is a testable prediction based on initial observations and existing knowledge; it's a crucial element that guides experimentation and analysis.

Purpose of the Scientific Process

  • Investigation: The scientific process provides a structured methodology for scientists to explore natural phenomena, test theories, and validate findings through evidence-based research.
