Question 1

Short Answer

Which of the following sets of steps, describing the process of the classical scientific method, are in the correct order?
A)
I) Detect and summarise general patterns among data
Ii) Test hypothesis by checking predictions with experiment or further observations

V) If results are in line with predictions claim support for hypothesis; if not, hypothesis is not supported or may even be challenged with results in opposite direction from predictions
Vi) Find further support, explain challenge or alter theory
