Hi there.
00:03
This question is about the scientific method.
00:12
And the scientific method is the technique or the pattern that is followed to add to our scientific knowledge.
00:22
The scientific method is very objective.
00:28
There is no room for bias or opinion of the researcher.
00:41
Scientific method is based entirely upon fact, observations, and data.
00:47
So as we look at which of those things is not a part of the scientific method, if we think about the scientific method, typically people start out making some observations of the natural world around them.
01:02
They notice something, they form a question.
01:13
Based upon these observations and this question, so based upon the observations that they make, they propose an explanation for what's going on.
01:22
And again, it's just, it's not just a random explanation, it's based upon what they've already observed.
01:28
So a testable explanation or prediction.
01:38
So we'll say a testable possible explanation.
01:42
Now there's a prediction.
01:45
But it's not just a random guess...
