Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The scientific method is the best way to discover if your predictions are correct or not. In the process of doing the scientific method you must start off with observing the experiment. Then you must create a hypothesis which is when you predict what will occur in the experiment. After predicting you must test your hypothesis to prove if it is correct or if it incorrect. And then you must repeat the last 2 steps again if your experiment is incorrect to try to figure out the correct answer.
The scientific method is best defined as a careful, disciplined, logical search for knowledge about any and all aspects of the universe obtained by examinations.
The good thing about the scientific method is that it is unprejudiced. We don't have to believe any one about anything. We can use the scientific method and find out for ourselves. And if you make a mistake you can always go back and redo the experiment until you get the correct answer. The scientific method is the process by which scientist or whoever is doing an experiment collectively and over time endeavor to construct an accurate representation of the word.
The scientific method does not always work. There are still plenty of things out there that have not been discovered. It is not 100% accurate. But most of the time it can help find the answer to your problems and to your hypothesis.
