Scientific method
Scientific method refers to a research strategy, by which a person identifies a problem, creates a hypothesis, develops predictions, and tests them through the collection and analysis of data.
If a hypothesis is repeatedly verified, it becomes a theory. This is known as the hypothetico-deductive model of scientific research. Scientists use this process to construct an accurate, reliable, consistent and non-arbitrary representation of the world.
