Answer: Question, Research, Hypothesis, Experiment, Analysis, Conclusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Ask a question: Question something you observe
  2. Research : Conduct background research, read different books, do online research using papers and abstracts. The more you know about it, the easier it will be to conduct your investigation.
  3. Hypothesis: It is a statement used to predict the outcome of an experiment. or it can also describe the relationship between two phenomena. You can write it in terms of cause and effect.
  4. Experiment : Design and perform an experiment to test the hypothesis. An experiment has an independent and dependent variable, where you change the independent variable and record the effect it has on the dependent variable.
  5. Analysis : Record observations from your experiment and analyze the meaning of the data. You could prepare a table or graph of the data using a computer program. After that, you could perform a mathematical analysis to support or refute your hypothesis.
  6. Conclusion : At the end, conclude whether to accept or reject your hypothesis.
