About 500 centuries ago, scientist and people used to think that proof to their theories was found in the Bible. Now, scientist follow a method called the scientific method. The scientific method is a series of steps used to prove if a theory is correct or not. The first part of the scientific method is to ask a question. The question is basically the theory that the scientist or the person has made. The next step is to do some background research on the topic. It'll help you a lot if you have background information to base your theory on. Then you must construct a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a mere guess based on a theory with incomplete evidence. The next step in the scientific method, is to test your theory with an experiment. Make sure that when you conduct the experiment that only one variable is changed. Then examine your answers. If the hypothesis is true, report your results. If the hypothesis is wrong, try again and repeat the scientific method with a different hypothesis or a different variable.
An example of following the scientific method is by performing an experiment to test whether a plant grow faster by watering it with water or with soda. So my question is "Does a plant grow better with water or with soda?" Next, you do some background research. Then, my hypothesis is that the plant will grow faster with water. The next step is to test your hypothesis with an experiment. According the the information I gather, my hypothesis was correct and the plant will grow faster with water.
