No, you have to go through college and get the degree first......... Nah just kidding, yes you can practice the Scientific Method even without being a scientist. (:
simple, its called the scientific method, i am not kidding
scientific nature is the study of the earths species, landforms , and it even studies our famous scientist:)
U don't even know???
The sequence of scientific investigation in psychology is observation, theory, hypothesis, and evidence. Scientific investigation is the way in which scientists and researchers use a systematic approach to answer questions about the world around us.
Answer from a CatholicTo the best of my knowledge, the Church was not against the scientific method at any time. They may even have contributed to it. If you want to have a specific argument dealt with, you are going to have to provide it.
Scientific methods steps are important !Scientific methods are important to help us solve the problems in our community.These are only some of what I have found out because of doing all that things in my General Science Class. I'm from I-Fleming 2011-2012. I hope it can help you with all of your questions about "Why are scientific method steps are important?" ~Lilian Daphne L. Alves (Daphne) I-Fleming (S.Y. 2011-2012)~
Universities would allow scientists to investigate their theories even if they contradicted Catholic teachings.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) came up with the scientific method (the Baconian method). Before him there were just natural philosophers. The term "scientist" didn't exist prior to 1833 when William Whewell coined the term (first published in 1834). Thus the social role of scientist as a profession didn't happen until the 19th century (where Whewell himself could be regarded as the first of his kind). Francis Bacon died in 1626, thus he can only be regarded as a scientist reflexively, as can all philosophers prior to 1834. However, to regard Bacon as the first scientist simply because he was a practitioner of his own scientific method is a somewhat restrictive definition. A scientist is, broadly speaking, one who engages in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In that sense, even prehistoric man could be regarded as being scientific, particulalrly in terms of agriculture. However, you would probably have to consider Socrates, Plato and Aristotle as the most important of the early philosophers. Aristotle (384-322 BCE) in particular was the first to attribute non-supernatural causes to naturally occurring events such as a earthquakes, and although he wasn't entirely right, his influence over the scientific community as a whole extended well into the Renaissance period before being replaced by Newtonian science.

It was recognised that there needed to be an internationally common scientific measurement system and the international scientific community concensus was that it should be the SI system.
The scientific method is basicly this. State the problem (Purpose) Research the topic Research) Predict the outcome to the problem (Hypothesis) Find a way to test the hypothesis (Experiment) Record the results (Analysis) Compare the results to the hypothesis (Conclusion) Scientists use this method because you really can't prove anything without it. Say if you wanted to see if plants grew better with or without fertilizer. That would be your purpose. You would then research what kind of plant and fertilizer you want to try. This is your research. After doing this, you would make an opinion about what YOU think will, or will not work. (Hypothesis) The you experiment, and afterwards, take note of how the plants did.(Analysis) Finally, you compare your results to the hypothesis you made earlier. (Conclusion) If you take out even one of these, you would no longer have an organized, efficent way to prove anything. And it is not only scientists that use this method, but people too. If you have a problem, without even realizing it, you're probably using the scientific method somehow.
Any time you make a guess and then get information to either prove or disprove that guess, you are using the scientific method. You can use it to find out which car or cellphone or game you should buy, or to learn which clothes and colors look best on you, or even to figure out which Pokemon is closest to you!
