What other process of scientific method to answer questions?

The scientific method is used to explain an observation. For example, the sun revolves around the earth. (This has been proven not to be true, but at one time was said to be true).

These are the steps in this method:

1. hypothesis (The sun revolves around the earth)

2. experimentation (Use of the telescope and other instruments to prove that this is true)

3. refine idea (data says this is not true, but that the earth revolves around the Sun)

4. more experimentation (collect more data to double check)

5.final statement (the Sun does NOT revolve around the earth)
