Q: Using a specific example, list and describe the five steps of scientific method.
Feedback: There are 5 steps to the scientific method: 1) You observe something in nature and you ask a question based on your observation. E.g. The sky is blue. Why is the sky blue? 2) You develop a testable hypothesis in an attempt to answer that question. E.g. The sky is blue because of the gaseous make-up of the atmosphere. 3) You design an experiment to test that hypothesis. E.g. You determine the gaseous content f the atmosphere and try to duplicate it in a lab setting and observe its color. You can use other combinations of different gases as a control. 4) You collect your results from your experiment. E.g. You measure the gaseous composition and coloration of different atmosphere models. 5) You analyze your results to draw conclusions about whether or not you support or refute your hypothesis.
