The scientific method typically involves several key steps:
-
Observation: Identify a phenomenon or problem to investigate.
-
Hypothesis: Formulate a testable explanation or prediction based on observations.
-
Experimentation: Design and conduct experiments to test the hypothesis, collecting data for analysis.
-
Analysis and Conclusion: Analyze the data to determine if it supports or refutes the hypothesis, and draw conclusions based on the results.
This process can lead to further questions, prompting additional experimentation and refinement of theories.
