The scientific method is a process used to investigate a phenomenon, acquire new knowledge, and solve problems. It involves formulating a hypothesis, testing it through experiments, and analyzing the results. Observation is the process of gathering information about an event, phenomenon, or object. It involves using the senses to observe, taking measurements, and recording data. Inference is the process of drawing conclusions from observations. It involves making assumptions based on evidence and making logical predictions.

When scientists study things, they often use the scientific method, which helps them to experiment, observe, and analyze their findings. Scientists use a number of tools to help them in their research, such as microscopes, telescopes, computers, and more. Scientists also use mathematical equations to help them understand their data and make predictions about the future.
