Scientific MethodScientific MethodA method that is extremely

effective in gaining, organizing, and applying new knowledge.

Practiced within the context of scientific thinking

Page 11: Physics introduction

Scientific MethodScientific MethodScientific Hypothesis

An educated guess that is only presumed to be factual when demonstrated so be experiment

Scientific Law Order in nature Hypothesis that has been tested over

and over again and have always been found to be true.

Page 12: Physics introduction

Scientific MethodScientific MethodScientific Fact

Close agreement by competent observers of the same phenomena

Scientific Theory A synthesis of a large body of

information that encompasses well-tested and verified hypotheses about certain aspects of the world.
