The scientific method is used in order to prove or disprove something by following steps, and performing experiments. There are five steps to the scientific method this include: observation, questioning, hypothesis, testing, and explanation. All of these steps together will allow a person to get to and answer on what it is they are researching. The scientific method can be used not only in science, but in everyday life. One can use this while making a new food or building a new car. It can also be used in the workplace as way to figure out how well that a new product will do out in the market.
When using the scientific method the hypothesis that one comes up with must be accepted or rejected in the end after all steps have been completed. This will allow the person performing the tests to know if they need to do more research and experimenting, or if they have the right answer to the questions they are answering. The hypothesis in this method have the potential to make a long standing theory that many people can use and believe in for mnay years to come. (Barrow, 1991)(Kuhn, 1952) The experiment that was conducted on the scientific methods website proved that my prediction that the flower grew towards the window due to the fact the flower needed the light for energy true. I first observed that in the readings above my experiment that the flower grew towards the window, and I knew that it was because the flower needed the light. I then came up with the hypothesis that the flower grew towards the window due to the light. I then tested my hypothesis by planting three flowers, and placing two light one on the left and one on the right of the flowers. As the experiments went on it showed that the flowers did in fact grow towards the light. The one on the left went towards the light on the left, and the one on the right towards the light on the left. The one in the
