Alright, so in this question, we are being asked about the scientific method and just kind of general steps to it.
00:08
So while you already have the five steps outlined, i'm just going to go ahead and just into a little bit more detail and talk about them a little bit more.
00:16
So like i said, you have the five steps outlined.
00:19
The scientific method is often either given in five steps or in seven steps.
00:24
What i have laid out down below is actually an eight, but a lot of them kind of combine into one step.
00:30
But i just like this just because i think it really lays out every single possible step to this process.
00:37
So it goes into just a little bit more detail.
00:40
So obviously your first kind of two steps of this is going to be your observe and your question.
00:47
And usually in these steps, you are using your observations.
00:53
And from your observations on a certain subject or topic, you are going to form a problem or a question.
01:01
And this question is going to be what you're going to test or what you kind of want to get out of the experiment.
01:07
You're looking for an answer to this question.
01:11
So once you have your question or you kind of have your problem area identified, you're going to go ahead into research and hypothesizing.
01:22
So usually once you have your question, while you might have some background knowledge on it, oftentimes you're going to want to perform a little bit extra research on it, just to become more familiar with the topic and all the possible kind of answers to the question and how you can go about kind of testing these.
01:43
And from there, once you kind of have a solid background on the topic, you can go ahead and formulate your hypothesis, which your hypothesis, as we know, is pretty much a testable question.
01:55
Oftentimes it's phrased in the if blank then blank not always but this is just kind of an easy way to remember it so for example if i water my flowers more then they will grow taller that's just a specific one so hypothesis you're formulating that and your hypothesis essentially comes directly from your question but your hypothesis does not always need to be correct.
02:31
Your hypothesis can be wrong in the end, but we will get to that later on.
02:37
So once you have your hypothesis, then from there you can formulate your experiment and how you want to overall test your hypothesis...
