Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Scientific method is a type of empirical method of acquiring information based on hypothesis and testing them empirically and then developing the peer-reviewed concepts which can explain the result.

The basic steps of scientific method are:

  • Observe a natural phenomenon.
  • Define what is happening in that phenomenon or develop a question.
  • Find or make a hypothesis solution of that question.
  • Check the validity of hypothesis.
  • If hypothesis is valid and able to explain the answer, then find more evidence.
  • If hypothesis is not able of explain then create new hypothesis and check its validity.
  • Draw conclusion by repeating the experiment.
