Question

The scientific method is critical to scientific study. In an essay, discuss the possible use of the scientific method in everyday life and how it might be important. Please include the steps of the scientific method. You can incorporate a previous lab, i.e. Rolling balls lab into your steps

Answer 1

Scientific method consists of systematic observation, hypothesis, and experimentation of observation and hypothesis.

Explanation:

• Scientific method and steps can be explained by an example. Suppose you live in a sea side and in your house compound, you have a pond. You observe that during winter, pond freezes while the sea doesn't.
• You think about it and reach the hypothesis that it may be because sea water that is salty has a higher freezing point than pond water, which is fresh water.
• You experiment and prove your hypothesis by taking two cups of distilled water and pouring salt to one of it. You keep them in refrigerator and  increase the freezing point. You see the distilled water cup getting frozen and the other cup is not because the salty water in it has a higher freezing point.
