8 Steps Scientific Method

There are 8 steps to the scientific method, which are making an observation, creating a hypothesis, collecting data to test the hypothesis, analyze the data by comparing it to the predictions of the hypothesis made earlier, accepting or rejecting the hypothesis, retest or revise the hypothesis, having your peers review your test and analysis it, and finally publishing your results. (Biology 10L lab 2) First, you have to make an observation on something that interests you and make notes on that specific topic. Second, is making the hypothesis on that topic. Constructing a hypothesis is easy it’s mainly an “If and then sentence”. It cannot be a question it has to be a statement. Also, it has to be testable, repeatable, and falsifiable. A hypothesis can never be proven you can only accept it. The reason it can never be proven is because there can always be so sort or improvement or different types or outcomes to a hypothesis. You can only prove things in math. Third, collecting data to test your hypothesis, this is after you have made your observations. To test your hypothesis you need a control group, independent and dependent variable. A control group stands for a part of the experiment that typically has no reaction. An independent …show more content…
Another question can be: is this flower dying because it is not getting any water? The difference between a theory and a hypothesis is that a theory composed of many hypothesis and has been tested a numerous amounts of times by different people. It can also be referred to as a law. Also, is the highest level of certainty. A hypothesis is the lowest level of certainty and can always have many different types of outcomes. Example of a theory is the cell theory, big bang theory, or the evolution theory. An example of a hypothesis is: If my iPhone is dead, then the battery is
