Steps in a Scientific Method Steps in a Scientific Method (depends on particular problem)(depends on particular problem)
1. Observations- quantitative - qualitative
2. Formulating hypotheses - possible explanation for the
observation 3. Performing experiments
- gathering new information to decide
whether the hypothesis is valid
