Research involves making observations, asking questions, conducting experiments to test ideas, and gathering information to build knowledge. There are different types of scientific research including basic research to expand understanding, applied research to solve practical problems, and practical research to apply findings to real-world situations. The goal of research is to systematically find answers to questions through evidence-based investigations.
