1. I. Four Steps
1.1. development
1.2. plan
1.3. process
1.3.1. there's a beginning and an "end"
1.3.2. you have to do it that way or else it will be difficult
1.3.2.1. reliability
1.4. hypothesis
1.5. method
1.6. organize
1.7. step
1.8. question
1.9. procedures
1.10. list
2. II. Testing the Hypothesis
2.1. mathematical
2.2. experiment
2.3. test
2.4. validity
2.5. action
2.6. trial
2.6.1. sometimes it's not the right answer and you have to do it again (trial and error)
2.7. ongoing
2.8. assessment
2.9. accuracy
2.10. observable
3. III. Common Mistakes in Applying the Scientific Method
3.1. error
3.1.1. math is hard & it's easy to make mistakes
3.2. mistakes
3.3. bias
3.3.1. your opinion affects the outcome
3.4. assumptions
3.5. favorability
3.6. influence
3.7. oops
4. IV. Hypotheses, Models, Theories and Laws
4.1. guidelines
4.1.1. relative to the situation and the experiment within certain parameters
4.2. explanations
4.3. agreement
4.4. testable
4.4.1. hypothesis must be testable
4.4.2. it can be recreated
4.4.3. theories are tested to be disproved not proven
4.5. experiments
4.6. universally applicable
5. V. Are there circumstances in which the Scientific Method is not applicable?
5.1. Applicablity
5.2. multipurpose
5.2.1. The fact that it can be used not just in the scientific field but in any other field to test things out
5.3. universal
5.4. focused
5.5. ineffectiveness
5.6. fallible
5.7. situational
5.8. inconsistent
5.9. circumstantial
5.9.1. there are circumstances that it can't be used (e.g., in the court of law)
6. VI. Conclusion
6.1. ending
6.2. the end
6.3. simple
6.4. complex
6.4.1. it needs to be repeatable and if it is just a simple answer you might have messed it up
6.4.2. following a conclusion there are many courses of action that you can take
6.5. wrap-up
6.6. summary
6.6.1. summarizes everything that was said previously
