Answer 1

Answer:

Gathering evidence.

Explanation:

Scientific evidence refers to the information obtained by research or observation.t This is the root of the scientific method because it's how an investigator evaluates different ideas, theories, or hypotheses. The mechanism of science involves explaining the phenomena we see in the world that match the data one has collected for the purpose. If one's theory doesn't match the evidence, then it needs to be revised. Therefore collecting evidence is a significant part of scientific investigation.
