The five key components of scientific method are
- Observation.
- Questions.
- Hypothesis.
- Prediction
- Experiment (Testing)
- Making an observation the scientific method
starts with making an observation. An observation can be anything
small(like heating of iron) or big(star, galaxies).
- Asking questions next step is to ask questions
regarding your observation. why it's happening, since when and how
etc.(like why iron heats when we press the switch)
- Forming a hypothesis an idea of actually
answering the questions related to observation (iron heats after
switching on maybe electric current is heating it)
- Making a prediction based on the hypothesis a
prediction is presented. (If electric current is heating the it
will only work when current is flowing through it.)
- Experimentation now to test the hypothesis and
for proving the prediction right series of experiment are needed
for the observation. (In case of our testing it with other outlets
and other sources)
