For those keep score this is actually an example of the science being settled
No such thing.. You should always question "The Science"
Observation: Observe and identify a specific phenomenon or problem that you want to understand or explore.
Question: Formulate a clear and specific question based on your observations. This question should be testable and measurable.
Hypothesis: Develop a tentative explanation or prediction for the observed phenomenon. This is a proposed solution to the question and should be based on prior knowledge and logical reasoning.
Prediction: From your hypothesis, deduce specific predictions that can be tested through experimentation or observation.
Experimentation or Data Collection: Design and conduct experiments or gather data to test your predictions and hypothesis. This step involves carefully controlling variables and following a specific methodology.
Analysis: Analyze the data collected during the experiments or observations. Use statistical tools and methods to interpret the results objectively.
Conclusion: Based on the data analysis, draw conclusions about whether your hypothesis is supported or rejected. Consider the implications of your findings and their significance in the context of the original question.
Communication: Share your results, findings, and conclusions with the scientific community through scientific papers, presentations, or other appropriate means. This step allows other scientists to replicate and validate your work.
