Question

How does the scientific process generally begin?

Answer 1

There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis

Answer 2

Answer : To develop a scientific process is a big task. Initially the scientist or the interested researcher may start with the following steps;

a) Start with an Unsolved question;

b) Conduct experiments;

c) Analyse from the observations of the experiments

d) From the conclusions create an theoretical hypothesis;

e) Check for reproducibility of the test results.

f) Write a thesis and submit to a scientific community.
