Within the scientific method, there are 6 steps to follow. By following all of these steps in order, you will result in a successful experiment. When a person chooses to investigate a particular circumstance, you define a specific problem for the experiment. This would happen to be the first step of the Scientific method, which is called Defining the problem. Formulating a hypothesis however, is an educated guess on how your experiment's results would show. With formulating a hypothesis, you create a possible explanation of an observed set of facts, through reasoning and guesswork. To find out whether or not your hypothesis is remotely correct or nothing close at all, you need to Test your hypothesis. This would be step #3 of the scientific method called, Testing your hypothesis- experimentation. Until the experiment is tested, it only remains as an hypothesis. Every experiment needs observations, as well as measurements, without these your experiment is nothing but incomplete. Measurements are needed along with observations, to obtain the precise results for the set of facts in your hypothesis. Without correct results you will be guaranteed to fail on the experiment. All measurements and facts have to be clear to work. They call this fourth step, the Observation and Measurements step. All procedures and materials used in experiments, as well as results must be recorded accurately and in full detail, as well. This step is called, Recording and reporting observations. You need to record all of your procedures and results in order to be highly organized in working out the problem. After working out the particular problem, you come across the last step of the scientific method which is called, Theories. Theories are Explanations that apply to a wide range of circumstances for which you are testing.They are more complex and harder to establish than an hypothesis. Remember, a Hypothesis is an educated guess. Theories on the other...
