THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
The scientific method is a process that a scientist uses to test something. This strategy is used my scientists as a structural way to correctly experiment something. This is a way to investigate something you have a theory on but are not quite sure, using this method will clearly make you understand and if used correctly you can easily backtrack and have evidence on every detail of the experiment, as well as why and how and the answer.
The proper steps to the method:
-First ask a question
How will you know what your experimenting if you haven't come up with exact questions to see what you need to focus on finding?
-Second you need to now do background research
Well now you need to know what you are up against. Research and find somethings to start your experiment. Find out how you will start your experiment and figure out what you need and what you need to do.
-Third of coarse you need to lay down a hypothesis
Well now that you know your experiment and have an idea on what will most probably happen you need to write down what YOU think will happen. Get the practice of including this as a personal goal of learning from your background knowledge.
-Now test the experiment and the hypothesis
Ok now your getting somewhere, this is the fun part with the explosions. Get what you need to start your experiment and try and note the process of the experiment every step of the way and don't forget to have more then one subjects to the experiment because if one fails you will have another one to see if each other were done correctly.
-Analyze the data
The second to last step is to gather everything, including backtracking and use all of the data to make a conclusion.
-Finally you check and see if your hypothesis is correct
At last you see if you have guessed the result correctly, if so then don't worry the experiment was not a waste of time, now you know for sure the results and you also know how to test it as well as have all the collected data to back up your result.

A example of using the method:
When creators of a flavor mixing and creating company which mostly contributes to modern candy making companies make the flavor they need they always have to use the scientific method. The creators first think of a title for the new flavor and think of what kind to create as well as for who. They then think of how it will taste and attract customers for their funding company as a hypothesis. After that they will see how much trans fat will go into it and nutrition facts as well as search ingredients to get the flavor. Now they would mix and create a sample of the subject. The final test is taste, strength ,coloring ,form(liquid or powder or ect.) and fixation of the product. After getting a good grade-a matierial sample they will send to a mass producing factory and VOA-LA you have a new flavor ice cream, or candy, or even a new burger.
