Scientific Method Steps - INI
The steps of the scientific method represent a systematic inquiry process for objectively understanding natural and social phenomena. Starting from observation, it builds scientific knowledge through a series of procedures including hypothesis formulation, experimental verification, data analysis, conclusion derivation, and result publication. This iterative process ensures reproducibility and objectivity, forming the foundation for advancing human knowledge.
