Question

The scientific method is: a. a way of thinking that relies heavily on faith and belief. b. a deductive process based on testable and measurable events. c. a rigid process, like following a recipe exactly. d. a process that starts with a conclusion and move towards an hypothesis. e. a method that uses different steps, depending on who is using it.

Answer 1

Answer: The Scientific method is a deductive process based on testable and measurable event.

Therefore the answer is option b

Explanation: The scientific method are those emperical method scientist apply to prove it's test or observation, so as to determine factors and variables involved in an observation, and arrive to a conclusion. A scientist must have a testable and measurable process which lead him to a conclusion. Scientific method believe in experimental method, which does not have the same procedure for all experiment, Science does not have a rigid process. For example, one may decide to use filtration method to purify water, another may decide to use evaporation method to purify water. Which means scientific method for a process change and improve, as science expand.

Answer 2

Answer: DEDUCTIVE PROCESS BASED ON TESTABLE AND MEASURABLE EVENTS.

Explanation: Scientific method can be defined as a method of discovering knowledge about the natural world based on making falsifiable predictions (hypotheses), testing them empirically, and developing theories that match known data from repeatable physical experimentation.

Simply put, according to Options B, it is can be paraphrased as, "deductive process based on testable and measurable events".
