Document Summary
Scientific method are: preliminary pbservation, problem, hypothesis, experiment ot controlled observation and theory. Cyclical j the experiment provides more accurate pbservation permitting a refinement pf the problem, starting the process again. T the quality of the scientific work depends on the correctness of the observation. T before approaching a problem, the observation should determine what scientifix problem to address in the experiment. T after observation j need to define a problem. T fundamental part of the scientific method is the recognition of good problems! T bes problems should be relevance and the capacity to be tested. T guess a answer to the problem j hypothese. T hypothesis are not random guesses but are statements based on all of the relevant observations. T a fundamental feature of the scientific method is that hypotheses are never be proven, they can only be disproved j null hypothese. T null hypothese (h0) j assume the experimental treatments will have no effect.
