Gather background information b. ii. 1. find out what else is already known about observation b. iii. Ex: you can test if batteries are dead. But can"t test is a ghost broke a flashlight. Supernatural & religious things can"t be b. iii. 2. tested a proposed tentative (not rigid) explanation for observation that was made b. iii. 3. b. iii. 4. b. iii. 5. proposed explanation/solution for an issue. Predictions are structured so that the hypothesis is true b. iii. 6. a. Ex: all organism are made of cells humans are organisms humans are made up of cells b. iii. 7. Can only be supported, not proven true b. iv. Experiment/test prediction b. iv. 1. b. iv. 2. used to test predictions one may not always have to do an experiment b. v.
