Scientific Method

The scientific method is the basis of scientific investigation. A scientist will pose a question and formulate a hypothesis as a potential explanation or answer to the question. The hypothesis will be tested through a series of experiments. The results of the experiments will either prove or disprove the hypothesis.

What makes a hypothesis scientific or not?

I usually do an "if, then, because" hypothesis. IF i do this, THEN this will happen BECAUSE of this. For example, IF I give a plant proper sunlight, THEN it will grow taller than the other plants BECAUSE plants need sufficient light to grow. It seems very simple, but it goes a long way! :)
