Scientific Method

1.	Observation: Identify a phenomenon or ask a question based on observations.
2.	Research: Conduct background research to gather information and understand existing knowledge about the topic.
3.	Hypothesis: Formulate a testable hypothesis that explains the observed phenomenon.
4.	Experiment: Design and conduct experiments to test the hypothesis, controlling variables to isolate the effects.
5.	Data Collection: Gather data through observations and measurements during the experiment.
6.	Analysis: Analyze the data to draw conclusions and identify patterns or relationships.
7.	Conclusion: Evaluate whether the data supports or contradicts the hypothesis, and draw conclusions accordingly.
8.	Communication: Share the findings through scientific reports, presentations, or publications.
9.	Peer Review: Allow other scientists to review and replicate the study to validate the results.
10.	Theory: If the hypothesis is consistently supported by evidence and survives scrutiny, it may be elevated to the status of a scientific theory.
