1.5 Understanding Scientific Investigations
1. Scientific investigations are carried out systematically.
2. If a certain scientist obtains a certain result doing an experiment, any other scientist doing the same experiment will obtain the same result if the procedure is carried out in the same systematic way.
3 The scientific investigation process follows the following sequence:
• Identification of the problem
• Identification of the variables of the experiment
• Formulation of a hypothesis
• Design of the experiment
• Establishing the procedures of the experiment
• Collection of measurement data and tabulation
• Analysis of the data
• Deriving a conclusion
