Answer to Problem 15LC

The three steps involved in the scientific method are making observations, hypotheses testing, and creating theories.

Explanation of Solution

The scientific method is applied to resolve complicated problems.

A logical, methodical technique for solving a scientific problem is known as the scientific method.

There are three major steps involved in the scientific method. Making observations, proposing, and testing hypotheses, and creating theories are all steps in the scientific method.

A wide range of problems can be resolved using the scientific method.

Observation:

Observation can be made by gathering information.

Hypothesis:

A hypothesis is a theory put up to explain an observable. Only if it explains what is really witnessed is it valuable. The hypothesis must be modified when experimental data does not support it. An experiment is a process used to put a theory to the test. A hypothesis can be elevated to a higher level of thought after it passes the test of repeated experimentation. It might develop into a theory.

Theory:

A well-tested theory is an explanation for many observations.
