JSS 1: SCIENTIFIC METHOD

-
SCIENTIFIC METHOD is also known as scientific discovery. It is defined as a way of studying problems objectively to establish facts through testing and experimentation.
The scientific methods include:
1. Observation 
2. Hypothesis 
3. Experiment 
4. Theory 
5. Scientific law or principle.
                    Observation
Observation involves the use of senses to perceive what is happening in the environment.
                    Hypothesis
Hypothesis means to give a reasonable explanation for an observation.
                    Experiment
The experiment is a scientific procedure undertaken to demonstrate a known fact.
                    Theory
Theory is a set of principles on which the practice of an identity is based.
                    Scientific law
Scientific law is a statement that confirms the hypothesis after extensive tests.e.g. Boyle's law, Charles' law, Ohm's law etc
                      
Assignment: Give ten examples of scientific laws
