The Scientific Method is a process of empirical investigation that involves careful observation and measurement of natural phenomena, the formulation of hypotheses to explain these phenomena, systematic experimentation, and the repetition of experiments to confirm the results. It is a crucial way of establishing reliable knowledge about our environment and enabling us to make predictions about future events. Experiments are at the core of it, as these can be rigorously designed and replicated, leaving more space for the consideration of theories and developing an objectively verifiable understanding of our world.
