The scientific method is a systematic approach that helps us gather accurate information to answer a specific question. You may not realize it, but you use it every day.

Imagine waking up on a Saturday and not finding your phone. This is an observation. You then start to investigate, suspecting that the phone might be in your pants pocket from the day before. This is a hypothesis. When you check your pants, you are conducting an experiment. However, life doesn't always go as planned, and you find no phone.

This second observation leads to a new hypothesis: you may have put the phone in your backpack during school. You check and find it! You are delighted and share the results with your best friend.

These are the steps of the scientific method. You can repeat the process at any time, modifying your experiment if the results do not answer the question. Observations and research are ongoing throughout. Science is an ongoing process.

Let's break down each step:

Observations: Use your senses (smell, sight, taste, touch, hearing) to make observations.

Research: Use reliable sources for background information, such as scientific journals and trustworthy online sources. Avoid blogs and outdated textbooks.

Hypothesis: Form a specific prediction of what will happen, often using an "if-then" statement.

Experiment: Define variables, such as an independent variable (the change) and a dependent variable (the measurement). Have an experimental group and a control group to compare results.
