The Scientific Method
There are six steps to the scientific method, and they are: observation, question, hypothesis, prediction, conclusion, and results. (Simon, E. J., Reece, J. B., & Dickey, J. L., 2010, p. 15) Each step serves a different purpose throughout the process. The basic explanation of the scientific method is that it begins with an observation, in this case the activity I chose was to figure out why my car wasn’t starting. Asking a question is the 2nd step, and the results will have answered this question. For this activity the question was “why will the car not start?” I tried every

This paper will focus on the scientific method and how it relates to human services research. The steps in the scientific method will be addressed, as well as why they are important and need to be included to support the scientific method. I will briefly discuss how the scientific research method was applied in the article that I found.

Introduction
Scientific investigation is the way in which scientists and researchers use a systematic approach to answer questions about the world around the people. A scientific investigation is an empirical (measurable) study of a question using the scientific method. The main parts are listed below: (1) problem: the question people intend to answer, (2) hypothesis: the best anticipated guess to the outcome of the question, (3) experiment: study is carried out and the results are measured, (4) Results: the data/information measured during the experiment is organized

When you have a really large number you still end up with all of the zeros, this can cause problems when working with the numbers because the zeros can be miscounted and or lost. in scientific location you are using the exponent to hold your zeros in a simple and easy form so you can make and equation or number smaller.
Example: 35,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 can be 3521 making this large number smaller. although decimal notation will also give you a smaller number the scientific notation method will make the numbers easier to read and work with.

Scientific Method Finding
Recognizing that personal and cultural beliefs influence both our perceptions and our interpretations of natural phenomena, we aim with standard procedures and criteria to minimize those influences when developing a theory. As a famous scientist once said, "Smart people (like smart lawyers) can come up with very good explanations for mistaken points of view." In summary, the scientific method attempts to minimize the influence of bias or prejudice in the experimenter when testing a hypothesis or a theory, which are of the four following.
1. Observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena.

The scientific thinking style is one of structure and adheres to specific criteria; it is much like a language, with a strict set of rules to follow. Such is The Scientific Method, which consists of the following four defined steps of observation, forming a hypothesis, experimenting, and verifying.

In science this method of deduction is called the “scientific method”.

The concept of PDCA is based on the scientific method, as developed from the work of Francis Bacon (Novum Organum, 1620).

While conducting experiments with rats and pigeons in the 1950s, B.F. Skinner constantly tried to prove that the animals repeated certain behaviors if they associated those behaviors with being rewarded with food. This method has become so effective, that it is continued to be put to practice with many professional organizations involved with animal performance.
