So I decided to put the answers for the questions for my class's google slides because I thought maybe someone would find this helpful. 1. The Scientific method is a set of procedures that scientists follow in order to gain knowledge about the world 2.The six steps include a question, hypothesis, experiment, observation, analysis, and conclusion. 3.The scientific method may not follow all of the steps in the same order because certain things may occur before others. please like this so others can find it, I hope this helps you!

Thinking in the way ofthe scientific method is why you can solve your parents tech-issues. The method is based on the assumptions, that every problem can be solved and all well prepared experiments produce repeatable results.

I see where you're coming from, but your WiFi conclusion about your laptop ("nothing is wrong with my laptop") is absolutely wrong. The main computer not having internet doesn't magically fix your laptop. You could still have no internet in the house and at the same time your laptop be toast
