The Scientific Method

The Scientific method is almost a How-To-Guide to how you should conduct a scientific experiment.

1. First of all you start of with a question you want to ask, or Identify some sort of problem.
2. Then you do some research on what your question is asking or the problem.
3. You then want to make a Hypothesis, this is basically an educated guess at what you think is the answer.
4. Then to test your Hypothesis you can conduct an experiment.
5. Once you have completed you experiment you then must analyze your results and and make a conclusion.
6. Finally see if your Hypothesis was correct or not, and report you results.

Why do we still use the Scientific Method?

The answer is, because it works. For over 1000 years scientists have used similar methods to conduct scientific experiments. There is no real flaw in the method, so it has continually worked.

And that is why it is still used, it works.
