Observation, like Tycho Brahe observing the motion of the planets; Experimentation, like Galileo dropping a ball from the tower of Pisa; and interpretation like Einstein's Brownian Motion.
These are the ways evidence is gathered and all three can be wrong. Replication, others getting the same answers from repeating the first scientists work is a safeguard but not sure protection. For example the redshift is mis-interpreted to mean the Universe is expanding. The observation is correct but the interpretation is incorrect because of Group Think.

Data
Gather information during an experiment
Scientists gather evidence to answer questions through a systematic process that includes observation, experimentation, and data analysis. They formulate hypotheses based on initial observations and then design experiments to test these hypotheses under controlled conditions. By collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data, they can draw conclusions and refine their understanding. Peer review and replication of studies further ensure the reliability and validity of their findings.
Scientists read and communicate with each other to gather information.
The evidence helps scientists come up with explanations about the natural world
The term "scientific method" refers to the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence they gather. It involves systematic observation, experimentation, and the formulation of hypotheses that can be tested.
science inquiry
Alfred wegener a German geologist had an idea that the continental drift had happened. He said that the continents fitted like a puzzle piece. The name of the big he put is Pangea. This is evidence that scientists had from the continental drift.
i know that this is stupid but how do scientists get empirical evidence.

If you browse around this category, you will find several similar questions with replies that answer your query. ==================================== Real scientists do not "gather evidence in support of" any theory. The technical term for that kind of thing is "cherry-picking". Real scientists build a theory to explain the evidence that they have already gathered, and then test the theory to see whether it holds water. The easiest, fastest way to make sure that you are regarded as a wingnut by real scientists is to adopt or invent a theory, and then spend your time trying to prove it.
induction
something you use to gather evidence that you cant see.
making measurments
Scientists obtain empirical evidence through experiments, where they manipulate variables and collect data, and through observations, where they gather data by directly observing phenomena in the natural world. Both methods are crucial for testing hypotheses and drawing conclusions based on evidence.
