Mention the steps involved in scientific method

Answer» The aim of all scientific methods is the same, that is, to analyze the observation made at the beginning but there are various steps adopted as per the requirement of any given observation. However, there is a generally accepted sequence of steps of scientific methods.\tObservation and formulation of a question:\xa0This is the first step of a scientific method. In order to start one, an observation has to be made into any observable aspect or phenomena of the universe and a question needs to be asked pertaining to that aspect. For example, you can ask, “Why is the sky black at night? or “Why is air invisible?”\tData Collection and Hypothesis:\xa0The next step involved in the scientific method is to collect all related data and formulate a hypothesis based on the observation. The\xa0hypothesis\xa0could be the cause of the phenomena, its effect, or its relation to any other phenomena.\tTesting the hypothesis:\xa0After the hypothesis is made, it needs to be tested scientifically. Scientists do this by conducting experiments. The aim of these experiments is to determine whether the hypothesis agrees with or contradicts the observations made in the real world. The confidence in the hypothesis increases or decreases based on the result of the experiments.\tAnalysis and Conclusion:\xa0This step involves the use of proper mathematical and other scientific procedures to determine the results of the experiment. Based on the analysis, the future course of action can be determined. If the data found in the analysis is consistent with the hypothesis, it is accepted. If not, then it is rejected or modified and analyzed again.
