Want this question answered?
Observation, hypothesis development, predictions from the hypothesis, testing, conformation or falsification of the hypothesis.
As you are limited to one other method experimentationwould be the answer you seek.
Science is based upon verifiable evidence. By 'evidence' we mean factual observations other observers can see,weigh, count and check for accuracy. Scientific observation is not the same as just 'looking at things'. The characteristics of scientific observations are as follows: 1. It is accurate. 2. It is presice. 3.It is systematic. 4.It is recorded. 5.It is objective. 6.They are made by trained observers. 7.They are made under controlled conditions. 8.It is according to time. This is only a short description of scientific observation. To know more use other websites.
Scientific theories base on facts depending on the observation made while hypothesis is a tentative answer or solution to a given problem. In other words, theory is all about possible facts but they may not always be true and hypothesis, is an intelligent answer to a particular scientific problem.
Scientists examine each other's work to make sure it is not biased or unreliable.
The scientific method uses observation and experimentation to answer questions
Experimentation.
Observation, hypothesis development, predictions from the hypothesis, testing, conformation or falsification of the hypothesis.
Hypothesis construction and experimental testing of such hypothesis.
The scientific method uses both observation and reasoning. When using the scientific method a person will ask a question, do background research, construct a hypothesis, test that hypothesis, observe and analyze, form a conclusion, and communicate the results.
As you are limited to one other method experimentationwould be the answer you seek.
Experimentation.
Observation, forming of a hypothesis, testing this hypothesis and verification/repeatability. Any where along that line that breaks down may necessitate starting over again.
A. observation. All other either state (law, theory) or presume (hypothesis) some relationship between different objects.
Observations, erecting a hypothesis, and then experimentation to answer questions in science.
When a trained scientist makes a careful observation of anything, that qualifies as a scientific observation. Scientific variables would be quantities of something, which could be temperature, velocity, size, color, pressure, force, or many other things, which are seen to vary in certain circumstances, from which observation we can deduce something about what is going on.
The Difference between the two is that firstly, the scientific method relies purely on data gathered for inferences about a question while other methods (philosophical for example) rely on conjectures or ideas put forth without measurable observation. secondly the a conclusion drawn with the scientific method will have either support or criticism from peers, who through their own data or observations will prove to strengthen the conclusion. the experiment and results of the scientific method also comprises it's own data which supports itself while a philosophical method does not have evidence outside of the idea holder's thoughts.
