Introduction

Science is based on facts . This means that any scientific discovery must be supported by facts . Scientific methods are the process that is used to come up with these facts . The process of scientific discovery usually involves a number of steps (Borror , 1990 . Science is based on a process of logical thinking and experiment to come up with facts which can be sued to support an assumption . The process of discover does not come spontaneously but it is

a process with several steps . Each step in the scientific method is important in giving credibility to the while process

The steps in scientific methods make up the methods which are used to solve problem logically in many areas of our life . Any scientific method usually looks into a problem and makes some statement about that problem which are proved or disapproved through an experiment . Fore example Francesco Redi together with Louis Pasteur both used a scientific method in to disapprove the earlier notion that there was spontaneous life generation . In this report we are going to review all the important steps in a scientific discovery . Consequently we will be carrying out an experiment to give example of how all the steps takes place and how important they are . At the end of the we will have generated our own knowledge about the subject

Steps in a scientific method

There are some very important steps which marks the beginning of an inquiry in a scientific world and the consequent effort to unravel the mystery behind that inquiry . The following are the most important steps in a scientific inquiry (i ) Observation

The first important step in a scientific discovery is observation . A good scientific will go around observing what is happening around and consequently making assumption about the happenings most scientific discovery were made through an observation . In our every day life , we see and hear things around us which we would like to know more about them . Everyday we meet with something that we are not very certain about but which we are interested in knowing more about . This can come from the reading and studying we do or from a mere observation Sometimes we have knowledge about something which we think is not enough and which we would like to expand more or know more about for example Isaac Newton came up with the theory of motion based on the knowledge he had about the earlier work by Copernicus , Kepler , and Galileo in addition to his own observations . Observation and the earlier knowledge we have about a subject forms the most important case for basing a scientific inquiry (Baker and Allen , 2001

From the observation that we make , we are likely to make and immediate conclusion . This conclusion is what forms the base of our inquiry . A scientific method therefore helps use to systematically inquire about our observation in to prove our conclusion right or...
