The scientific method

This method is very important as it is used for researchers to support or disprove a theory. The scientific method consists of the following:
Observation-You observe something in the material world, using your senses or machines which are basically extensions of those senses.
Question- You ask a question about what you observe.
Hypothesis- You predict what you think the answer to your question might be.
Method- You figure out a way to test whether hypothesis is correct. The outcome must be measurable.
Result-You do the experiment using the method you came up with and record the results. You repeat the experiment to confirm your results.
Conclusion- You state whether your prediction was confirmed or not and try to explain your results.

Here is a short rap on the scientific method. Enjoy!!!
