The Scientific Method
- Science has three core aspects
- First we make an observation
- Then we do experimentation
- Last we draw conclusions
- This step-by-step way is the scientific method
Example 1 — A scientist at work
- observes something curious
- tests it through experiments
- draws a conclusion from results
Example 2 — Science in daily life
- toothpaste, soap and shampoo
- clothes and food we use
- all are gifts of science
Important Points
- The three core aspects of science are observation, experimentation and drawing conclusions.
- Science is about being curious about the world and how it behaves.
- Science is present all around us, from the microscopic to the macroscopic world.
