7. The six steps of the scientific method are as follows:Pose a question. Anything of interest to humans can be the subject of a scientific question.Formulate a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a question in the language of science. In addition, the person who formulates the hypothesis must also be sure to define the variables in the hypothesis.Test the hypothesis. Any scientific hypothesis must be tested by making careful observations of the relationships between two or more variables, such as age and reading ability. The experimenter would then compare the way one variable changes with respect to the others.Analyze the results. To analyze our results we must be sure that our observations and measurements have produced results we can specify in terms of some level of relationship between our variables. For example, our data may show that reading ability increases with age at a certain rate.Draw conclusions. If, for example, we find that reading ability increases with age, we can state that this is so and propose reasons why this relationship is found to exist. However, out analysis will also take a careful look at how we gathered our data to see if error or bias may have distorted our findings.Propose ways to duplicate our work. One study seldom gives us enough information to draw firm conclusions. Studies on such things as reactions to drugs may have to be carried out with different subjects (beginning with animals) under a range of circumstances and over a period of time.
