SCIENCE IS BASED ON PROOF, NOT GUESSES OR OPINIONS!
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IS A TOOL
AFTER THE QUESTION, SCIENCE NEEDS A HYPOTHESIS; A SIMPLE GUESS.
WITH 1. OBSERVATIONS & 2. CAREFULLY DESIGNED EXPERIMENTS
IF FAILED, NEW HYPOTHESIS OR RETEST, IF PASSED
SHARE FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY FOR RE-TESTING & VERIFICATION

Why should a scientist always share the results of his or her experiments? Sharing results lets other scientists check the experiment to try & get the same results. 6. Number the steps of the scientific method in the correct order. 1. Question -> 2. Hypothesis -> 3. Experiment -> 4. Share Results -> 5. Theory -> 6. Law
