SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY

This overview covers how scientists study phenomena and utilize evidence to explain occurrences in the natural world. It introduces essential concepts such as hypotheses, controlled experiments, and variables—both manipulated and responding. The importance of testable explanations is emphasized, along with the process of summarizing findings to determine if the hypothesis was correct. In addition, distinctions between scientific theories, which can evolve with new evidence, and scientific laws, which predict consistent outcomes, are discussed.
