# The Scientific Method The scientific method is a systematic process used to investigate observations, solve problems, and test hypotheses. The steps are typically as follows: 1. **Observation**: Begin by noticing and describing a phenomenon or a problem. 2. **Question**: Formulate a question based on the observation. This is often a query that needs to be answered. 3. **Hypothesis**: Propose a testable hypothesis, which is a potential explanation or prediction based on prior knowledge. 4. **Experiment**: Design and conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis, ensuring that variables are controlled. 5. **Data Collection**: Gather and record data from the experiment. 6. **Analysis**: Analyze the data to determine if it supports or contradicts the hypothesis. 7. **Conclusion**: Draw conclusions based on the analysis, and decide if the hypothesis is supported or not. 8. **Communication**: Share the results, either through publication or presentations, so others can evaluate and build upon the findings. Sometimes, the process may be iterative, meaning that based on the conclusions, the hypothesis could be revised and tested further.
