What is the scientific method?

Scientific Method

The scientific method refers to the system by which scientists organize their knowledge about their subject. First they gather data, including any measurements, observations, results of experiments, etc. Then they form a logical, reasonable hypothesis to explain what they have found. That means scientists are required to have reasons for what they believe, not emotions or gut feelings. The scientific method is an important tool for researchers, but is also useful for solving problems in our everyday lives as well!
