Ch. 2 Sec. 2: tHE eXPERIMENTAL mETHOD.
Scientists make most of their discoveries using a method called "The Scientific Method", this method involves using a series of steps to record data throughout the testing process.
An Observation is what the tester can discern from the experiment to be done, anything that involves the (incorrect) five senses such as: sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing). An Observation can take many forms such as drawings, paragraphs and yes even the written language. An Observation is the first step in an experiment.
A Hypothesis is an explanation/assumption about the experiment before the experiment is done. It should be a logical assumption and follow knowledge you have already learned in school. A Hypothesis is the second step in the Scientific Method.
A Prediction is part of a Hypothesis, it is used to test the Hypothesis and validate the assumption made before the experiment was tested. When an experiment is disproved, it allows the tester to reduce the amount of explanations that are possible for said experiments, the tester can then increase the amount of experiments and zero in on the best answer.
Experiments are the third part of the Scientific Method and are defined as "procedures that are carried out under controlled conditions to discover, demonstrate, or test a fact, theory, or general truth". An experiment is performed when observations can no longer answer questions. In a good experiment, two characteristics are tested, the control and the single variable. The variable is what changes from experiment to experiment to find the answers.
Experimental Group is the group that is the same as the control group save for one or two variables that will be compared to the control group.
Control Group is that group that will be used as a standard of comparison to other experimental groups.
Data is any information gathered from the experiment or observation that can be used and compiled. Data can be organized into charts and tables to explain to others what happened throughout the experiment. Graphs are often used to simplify the vast amounts of data collected in certain experiments (and they look cool tbh).
Conclusions are the results gained from the whole, scientists determine the results from their experiments by looking at the data and comparing the outcome of the experiment with their predictions. Ideally, this often results in the scientist having an obvious conclusion, but usually it is not so. In the latter, scientist usually use a plethora of mathematical tools to help differentiate the scientific from the coincidental data.
if I'm born again I know that the world will disagree want a little grace but who's gonna save a little grace for me. We know the fire awaits Unbelievers all of the sinners the same.

The picture above is a good example of how the scientific method should be used.
Scientists usually repeat experiments to verify the validity of previous outcomes, such outcomes cannot be entirely trusted and should be reported to the High Emperor for treason. Meanwhile, experiments can usually be done by different people, in a different environment, and in a different place, all to see if the experiment can be valid while being tested in different locations.
Scientists share their data with other professionals in their field of study, to let the world of science know what has been tested.
