Here's why:
* Observation: You notice something interesting in the world.
* Question: You ask yourself why this happens.
* Hypothesis: You propose a possible explanation for the observation. This is an educated guess, a tentative answer to your question.
* Prediction: You use the hypothesis to predict what will happen in a specific situation.
* Experiment: You design and conduct an experiment to test your prediction.
* Analysis: You analyze the results of the experiment to see if they support or refute your hypothesis.
If the experiment supports your hypothesis, you may strengthen it or use it to generate further hypotheses. If it refutes your hypothesis, you need to revise or reject it and develop a new one.
