Why is the Scientific Method important?
The scientific method is the cornerstone to modern science. Without a formal method of determining questions and their answers, we wouldn't have science or the knowledge we have today.
What is the Scientific Method?
Here are the basic steps to the Scientific Method (courtesy of www.ducksters.com/science/scientificmethod.php):
-Ask a question
-Gather information and observe (research)
-Make a hypothesis (guess the answer)
-Experiment and test your hypothesis
-Analyze your test results (Was your guess correct?)
-Present a conclusion
-Change your hypothesis, if necessary, and retest (retesting is often done by other scientists)
