TRUTH’S

STORY:

Observation is the active acquisition of information from a primary source.

SCIENTIFIC

METHOD:

The scientific method is the process of turning a guess (regarding an observation)… into a tested theory about this physical world.

Process:

Form a question about an observation.
Form an educated guess which may answer that question.
Form a prediction of a result of that guess being observed (before testing).
Test that prediction through a simulation/experiment or observational/field study.
Analyze the data from the test, and either revise the guess or form a new one and repeat the process.

Write a descriptive method of observation and the results or conclusions reached.
Have peers with experience researching the same phenomenon evaluate the result.
Share the information gathered for others to build upon.
