The Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method is basically the way we were taught to solve a problem/experiment. The basic steps basically consist of four steps which are:

1.Discover a problem
2.Invent a hypothesis
3.Test your hypothesis untill you find one thats true
4.Draw your conclusions

EXAMPLE:

My problem: I can't get to class on time.

My hypothesis: If I dont stop to talk to my friends in the hall i can make it to class on time

My expirement: I chose one day to test my hypothesis. So on this day as soon as the bell rung to let us out of class i went straight upstairs to Mr. Molony's class without stopping in the halls to conversate with my friends and i made it to class on time.

My conclusion: I tested my hypothesis and it worked so everyday now i'm not going to stop in the halls between classes to converse with my friends.
