  • Q #2: What are the steps involved in the scientific method?

    A. Observation, hypothesis, prediction, experimentation, analysis, conclusion.

    B. Hypothesis, observation, prediction, experimentation, analysis, conclusion.

    C. Prediction, observation, experimentation, analysis, conclusion, hypothesis.

    D. Observation, data collection, analysis, experimentation, hypothesis, conclusion.

    Answer Explanation

    The scientific method is a systematic approach used to answer questions or test hypotheses about the natural world. The steps involved in the scientific method are:

    1. Observation: This is the first step in the scientific method. It involves observing a phenomenon or a problem and gathering information about it.
    2. Hypothesis: After making an observation, a scientist forms a hypothesis, which is a tentative explanation for the phenomenon or problem.

          3. Prediction: Based on the hypothesis, the scientist makes a prediction about what will happen in an experiment or what they will observe.

          4. Experimentation: The scientist designs and conducts an experiment to test the hypothesis and prediction.

          5. Analysis: The data collected from the experiment are analyzed to determine if they support or refute the hypothesis.

          6. Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the data, the scientist draws a conclusion about whether the hypothesis is supported or refuted.

    Option b) is incorrect because it starts with hypothesis before observation. Option c) is incorrect because prediction comes before experimentation. Option d) is incorrect because hypothesis comes after observation and data collection.
