Answer 1

Answer:

Analyzing data and drawing conclusions

Explanation:

The scientific method is a process or method of inquiry that follows a series of sequential steps which helps a scientist to understand the world around him, draw conclusions and predict results.

The steps in the scientific method include:

1. Observation: the scientist observes his environment keenly and carefully.

2. Asking a question to identify the problem.  

3. Conducting research to get information about the problem.

4. Making a hypothesis or an educated guess of a possible outcome.

5.Conducting experiments to test the hypothesis.  

6. Analyzing data and drawing conclusions: this involves drawing inferences about experimental results and determining if the collected data supports the original hypothesis and determining if the hypothesis is correct.

7. Communicate results: presenting the result and data through various media, such a laboratory report.
