Scientific Method

What’s the scientific method?

The scientific method is one way that people can try to find the answer to problems that are bothering them. It’s called “scientific”, because people like to think of themselves as being very clever, or “scientific” for solving problems. In reality, there’s not really anything special about this method, except that it happens to be pretty handy for solving any problem, not just scientific ones.

How do I use the scientific method?

The scientific method is just a list of steps that you need to follow when you’re solving a problem. Depending on who you talk to, there are anywhere from five to eight steps in the scientific method. However, all versions of the scientific method involve the person trying to solve the problem experimenting to find an answer.
