Assignment: Explain how the scientific method works. The scientific method is fundamental to successful experimentation. It consists of four main stages: observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and analysis. A successful scientific endeavor covers each of these stages thoroughly. Observation consists of noticing a phenomenon, asking questions about it, and researching what is known about the phenomenon. For example, you might notice that two objects of the same dimensions fall at the same rate. A question this might raise is whether the mass of these objects affects how quickly they fall. You can then look for information from previous experiments or equations that seek to explain the phenomenon. After you’re
