Step One: Ask a questions or state a problem

Example: What is the best soil for growing plants?

Step Three: Form a Hypothesis

Your hypothesis should always be an if/then statement

Step Four: Experimenting (the fun part)

Example: Getting the same type of seed, the same type of pots, and the same amount of soil (different types of soil though) watering each plant the same amount with the same amount of sunlight then observing which plants grow the tallest.

Step Five: Gather Data

Yes, to do otherwise you are entering the realm of psuedoscience. People would intentionally or unintentionally re-order their findings in order to prove their pre-conceived theories and ideas. They have already arrived at a conclusion (which is the FINAL step), and will come up with theories and experiments to reinforce that conclusion.

"Christian Science" is well known for doing this.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the scientific method?

Advantages of using scientific methods: You can test in many different ways, and the more times you test, the more accurate your results will be.

Disadvantages of using scientific methods: You can come up with different results which can disprove your hypothesis, and this leads to inconsistent conclusions.
