Scientific Method
The Scientific Method is a systematic approach used to investigate phenomena, acquire new knowledge, or correct and integrate previous knowledge. It involves several key steps:
- Observation: Noticing and describing a phenomenon.
- Question: Formulating a question based on observations.
- Hypothesis: Proposing a testable explanation.
- Experimentation: Conducting experiments to test the hypothesis.
- Analysis: Evaluating the data collected during experiments.
- Conclusion: Drawing conclusions based on the analysis and determining if the hypothesis is supported or refuted.
This method is fundamental in scientific research, ensuring that findings are reliable and reproducible.
