The document outlines the steps of the scientific method used in biology: 1) Ask a question about a topic that interests you and do background research. 2) Construct a hypothesis to test, which should make sense and be falsifiable. 3) Design and conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis, collecting and analyzing the results. 4) Draw conclusions based on the analysis to determine if the results support or contradict the original hypothesis. 5) Report the results so the findings can contribute to ongoing scientific progress.
