How can you explain the process of an idea developing into a theory using the scientific method?

Answer 1

In the scientific method, an idea goes through the process of forming a hypothesis, developing a way to test the hypothesis, conducting research based on a detailed method, analyzing the research data, reporting it to the scientific community if research supports the hypothesis, and others conducting more research. If results consistently support the hypothesis, the hypothesis becomes a theory.

Answer 2

Define the question. Gather information. Form hypothesis. Perform experiment. Analyze data. Draw conclusions.
