The Scientific Method\nby Anthony Carpi, Ph.D.\n\nA common misperception of science is that science defines "truth." Science does not define truth; rather, it defines a way of thought. It is a process in which experiments are used to answer questions. This process is called the scientific method and involves several steps:\n\n   1. Observation: The first step of the scientific method takes place when an observation is made regarding some event or characteristic of the world. This observation might lead to a question regarding the event or characteristic. For example, you might drop a glass of water one day and observe it crashing to the floor near your feet. This observation might lead you to ask a question, "Why did the glass fall?"\n   2. Hypothesis:In attempting to answer the question, a scientist will form a hypothesis (or some would say a guess) regarding the question's answer. In our example there are many possible hypotheses, but one hypothesis might be that an invisible force (gravity) pulled the glass to the floor.\n   3. Experimentation: Of all the steps in the scientific method, the one that truly separates science from other disciplines is the process of experimentation. In order to prove, or disprove, a hypothesis, a scientist will design an experiment to test the hypothesis. Over the centuries, many experiments have been designed to study the nature of gravity.\nhttp://www.visionlearning.com/library/module_viewer.php?c3=&mid=45&l=\n\nLegal methodology is basicly the bare facts.  The facts that do not have to be scientificly analysed.  Fingerprints, although have to be collected scientificly, are bare facts for instance.  The blood on the knife that killed the victim would be classed as legal methodology due to it being a fact that it was there at the scene of the crime and didn't need to be collected using scientific methods.\nI hope this helps

None really - science is a methodology.  The scientists might have faith in all sorts of things -but science itself does not.

Steps of the scientific method\n\n1.  Name the problem or question\n\n2.  Form an educated guess (hypothesis)\n     of the cause of the problem and make\n     predictions based upon the hypothesis\n\n 3.  Test your hypothesis by doing an\n     experiment or study (with proper controls)\n\n 4.  Check and interpret your results\n\n 5.  Report your results to the scientific\n     community

Apparently some form of holistic approach. Only found two web results for it, and one was here on Yahoo Answers six montsh ago

Science refers to either:* the scientific method – a process for evaluating empirical knowledge; or* the organized body of knowledge gained by this process\n\nTechnology- The application of knowledge to meet the goals, goods, and services desired by people.

one way is chlorophyll fluorimetry,a method of studying light absorption by photosynthetic pigments in marine algae.\nthis sight might help good luck.

1) Idintify the problem of interest\n2) Carefully read the literature to see what has already been done in the area\n3) Modify your question based upon the literature review\n4) Clarify a hypothesis into a series of simple questions\n5) Devise and conduct a series of easy pilot experiments to determine if the hypothesis is likely true.\n6) Plan a stepwise series of experiments to answer the question\n7) Analyze the data statistically, write the manuscript

Do you have a link to a source? Without reference, how can we study it and attempt an answer?

1. Identify the problem. \n\n2. Refer to as many sources as possible.\n\n3. Ask an appropriate question. \n\n4. Develop a hypothesis.\n\n5. Do the experiment.\n\n6. Keep good records of the methods and results.\n\n7. Report the experiment.\n\n8. Analyze the results.\n\n9. Develop a conclusion.

Richard Feynman (the greatest scientist ever) believed that science is best defined as the belief that "...observation is the ultimate and final judge of the truth of an idea."  The scientific method isn't strictly followed in science (you won't find physicists going step by step through some list).  In my opinion, the scientific method is best explained by teaching that scientists test the truth of ideas by looking at the world (through experiments) rather than judging it based on authority or elegance.

Umm....  there is no way to disprove it....thats why its called a law, not a theorem.  Also, you need to be more specific.  What ways?  Whats experiments?  \n\nAsk again with  more details and I will help you

I think trial and error is a part of the scientific method. You think you know something. You do testing (trial) to see if it is true (possible error). If it isn't, you adjust you thinking and test again until you either prove or disprove your idea.
