Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method is a series of steps used to solve problems. The first step of the scientific method is finding a problem. You won't have anything to solve if you don't have a problem. The second step is to research up on that problem for background information.  The third step is creating a hypothesis or an educated guess based on the information you received. The fourth step is to conduct an experiment to test your hypothesis. The fourth step is to analyze the data from the experiment and make a record of it. Finally you make a conclusion based on the data of your experiment and tell if your hypothesis was wrong or correct.

An example of the scientific method is an experiment with cola and Mentos. The question is what will happen when you mix cola and mentos. My hypothesis is that the cola will burst. So for my experiment i will put mentos in cola. What do you know, it exploded. My hypothesis is correct.
