 WHAT IS SCIENTIFIC METHOD?
 Scientific method is a step-by-step procedure
that is used in any scientific investigation; a
research for cause-and-effect relationships in

steps:
1.Observing and identifying a scientific
problem
2.Formulating hypothesis
3.Performing an experiment to test the
hypothesis
 WHAT ARE THE STEPS OF
SCIENTIFIC METHOD?
The scientific method consists of the following
steps:

4.Collecting data and analyzing

experimental results
5.Drawing a conclusion
Is the scientific method followed by a
specific or particular step?

Keep in mind that the scientific method does not

have to follow this fixed sequence of steps; rather,
these steps represent a set of general principles or
guidelines.
