Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Scientific Method: A systematic process used to investigate phenomena, acquire new knowledge, or correct and integrate previous knowledge. It involves observation, hypothesis formulation, experimentation, and theory development. Author unknown (general scientific consensus).

  • Observation: The process of gathering empirical evidence through the senses or instruments to notice and record phenomena. It is the first step in scientific inquiry that leads to questions and hypotheses. Author unknown.

  • Question Formulation: The process of developing clear, focused questions based on observations that guide the investigation. Well-constructed questions are essential for directing research and hypothesis development. Author unknown.

  • Hypothesis Testing: The process of making predictions based on hypotheses and conducting experiments or observations to determine their validity. It involves testing the hypothesis against empirical evidence. Author unknown.
