Scientific method

1. Observe and Question

   • Observation helps us to formulate challenging questions and then be able to test them.  
   • Research
     • Using library or Internet research to help you find the best way to do things and ensure that you do nor repeat mistakes from the past.
     • Formulate a hypothesis
       • It is an attempt to answer the question with an explanation that can be tested.  A good hypothesis allows you to then make a prediction.
       • Test your hypothesis by doing an experiment.
         • 1. State the hypothesis (every hypotesis test require the analist to state a null hypothesis and an alternative)  
         • 2. Formulate an analysis plan (it describes how to use sample data to accept or reject the hypothesis) 
         • 3. Interpret the results.
         • Every single experiment use
           • Qualitive data (descriptions)
           • Quantitive data (numbers)
