Answer
The four steps of the scientific method are:
1) Observation and description of a natural phenomenon of group of phenomena;
2) Formulation of a hypothesis to explain the phenomena;
3) Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations, i.e to test the hypothesis if the hypothesis is true, find more evidence or find counter-evidence, if the hypothesis is false, create a new hypothesis or try again; and
4) Draw conclusions and repeat –the scientific method is never-ending, and no result is ever considered perfect.
