CONCLUSION
THEORY FORMATION
observe some aspect of the natural world; identify a question or problem
Observation
testable claim arising from scientific theoris, possible answers, testable, based on other observations
Hypothesis
state what one should abserve about the ? if the hypothesis is valid
Prediction
Devise an experiment to test your hypothesis; Controlled experiment: Experiment group-> subjected to a given treatment; Control group-> untreated group
experimentation
Preferred datat type: mathematical(unbiased)
Data
a hypothesis may be elevated to the status of a theory if it is not rejected with repeated testing over time
