The scientific method is a process that both scientists and ordinary people use in their daily lives to obtain reliable results and answers to specific questions. For example, if you lose your phone, it starts with watching. Then you remember where you last saw it and formulate a hypothesis that it might be in your pants pocket. Testing this hypothesis, you conduct an experiment, but you don't find the phone number. This leads you to a new observation and a new hypothesis that the phone might be in your bag. The scientific method involves successive steps: observation, research, hypothesis formulation, and experiment execution. It is important to use reliable sources of research information to avoid making mistakes. Experiments collect both qualitative and quantitative data, which allows you to accurately measure the results of research. Each experiment has an independent variable (what changes) and a dependent variable (what is measured). For a correct comparison, the results of the experiment should include the experimental group and the control group. Thus, the scientific method is a continuous process that can be repeated and refined at each stage of development.
