What is the Scientific Method? [10]
Definition of the Scientific Method [12]
Steps of the Scientific Method [14] - The scientific method has a similar structure to an hourglass - starting from general questions, narrowing down to focus on one specific aspect [15], then designing research where we can observe and analyze this aspect.
At last, the hourglass widens and the researcher concludes [16] and generalizes [17] the findings to the real world.
The general aims of research [18] are:
Purpose of Research [22] - Why do we conduct research? Why is it necessary?
Common scientific research elements [23] are:
Characterization - How to understand a phenomenon
Hypothesis [26] and Theory [27]
Prediction [20]
Observation [19] or Experimentation [4]
