What is Scientific Method? Francis Bacon is the Father of Scientific Method. Mixed use of Inductive & Deductive Method is called Scientific Method. It is a Back-&-Forth Movement (Cycling Process) of thoughts. It is start from Inductive to Deductive. It is based on Assumptions or Hypothesis. This is basically conducted to Develop or Test Hypothesis. How to proceed in scientific method 1st - In this method researcher operates Inductively from Partially known or unknown information (Experiences, previous knowledge, observation etc.) towards a assumptions or hypothesis. 2nd - Then Deductively from suggested Hypothesis, to the particular parts in order to connects these with one another in a meaningful pattern to find valid relationship. Purposes of Scientific Methods The basic purposes of scientific methods are Description Exploration Explanation Prediction Control Prescription, & Identification of relationship of the facts. Steps in Scientific Method 1.Identification and definition of the problems 2.Formulation of a hypothesis 3.Implication of hypothesis through deductive reasoning 4.Collection and analysis of evidences 5.Verification, rejection or modification of hypothesis 6.Generalization

4. What is Scientific Method?
• Francis Bacon is the Father of Scientific
Method.
• Mixed use of Inductive & Deductive Method is
called Scientific Method.
• It is a Back-&-Forth Movement (Cycling
Process) of thoughts.
• It is start from Inductive to Deductive.
• It is based on Assumptions or Hypothesis.
• This is basically conducted to Develop or Test
Hypothesis.

5. How to proceed in scientific method
• 1st - In this method researcher operates Inductively
from Partially known or unknown information
(Experiences, previous knowledge, observation etc.)
towards a assumptions or hypothesis.
• 2nd - Then Deductively from suggested Hypothesis, to
the particular parts in order to connects these with one
another in a meaningful pattern to find valid relationship.

6. Purposes of Scientific Methods
• The basic purposes of scientific methods are
– Description
– Exploration
– Explanation
– Prediction
– Control
– Prescription, & Identification of relationship of
the facts.

7. Steps in Scientific Method
1. Identification and definition of the problems
2. Formulation of a hypothesis
3. Implication of hypothesis through deductive
reasoning
4. Collection and analysis of evidences
5. Verification, rejection or modification of
hypothesis
6. Generalization
