Scientific Method

Quality score: 70/100  ·  Category: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: research-methods
The scientific method as an epistemological framework for producing reliable knowledge. Covers observation, question formation, hypothesis construction, experimental testing, data analysis, conclusion, and communication -- not as a rigid sequence but as an iterative cycle of inquiry. Includes falsifiability criteria, the role of replication, and the distinction between science, non-science, and pseudoscience. Use when teaching, applying, or evaluating the process of scientific inquiry at any level.
