9. The scientific method consists of four steps: 1. Formulation of a problem 2. Observation and experiment 3. Interpretation 4. Testing the interpretation The Scientific Method Hypothesis-an initial scientific interpretation. Law-a relationship or regularity between naturally occurring phenomena. Theory-Explains why a phenomenon or a set of phenomena occurs. Models-to simplify complex situations
