Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The scientific method is a way to solve science problems by conducting experiments. Basically the experiments you will conduct is to see if your hypothesis is correct or incorrect. There are certain steps in the scientific method, first you have to the problem, question or theory your trying to prove. Then you find some background research to help you choose what your hypothesis which means you also need a hypothesis. You need to then conduct the experiment that will either prove or find your hypothesis correct or incorrect. This will lead to your conclusion, the conclusion is a statement that says if your correct or incorrect.
An example of a scientific experiment is testing if a certain liquid is an acid, base or if its neutral. So first you would need to know what an acid, base and a neutral liquids are. Then you have to make a hypothesis of what you think the liquid is. Then you would have to conduct the experiment using indicators testing pH levels and see what the liquid is. After that you write your conclusion stating if you got your hypothesis right and what if the liquid is a base, acid or neutral.
