Now, let’s convert that into notes! ● Scientific method process for experimentation used to explore observations and answer questions ● Sci. meth = process for experimentation / used 2 explore obs. + ans. Qs. ● Goal discover cause and effect relationships by asking questions, carefully gathering and examining the evidence, and seeing if all the available information can be combined logical answer. ● Sci. meth goal = disc. cause + eff relationships / ask qs + gather + examine ev. + see if avail. Info makes logical ans.
