The scientific method has six steps:
1. Purpose- Observation and description of a phenomenon.
2. Research- Find out everything you can about the phenomenon
3. Hypothesis- Formulation of an hypothesis (educated guess) to explain the phenomena.
4. Experiment- Test of the hypothesis to see if you can reproduce the phenomenon
5. Analysis- Analyze and record the results of the experiment. Run experiment again to verify results.
6. Conclusion- state the final results of your hypothesis and conclusion
If the experiment proves the hypothesis to be correct, it may come to be regarded as a theory or law of nature. If the experiments do not bear out the hypothesis, it must be rejected or changed in some way.
