What is the first step of the scientific method?

• Make a testable explanation

• Ask a question

• Design an experiment

• Observe something about reality

What is a key part of the scientific method?

• Creating an untestable explanation

• Making observations about reality

• Refining and repeating (iterating) the process

• Believing in gut feelings

Why is it important for explanations in the scientific method to be testable?

• To make the process more complicated

• To ensure the foundation of knowledge is strong

• To confuse other scientists

• To rely on gut feelings
