The document outlines the steps of the scientific method which include making observations, asking questions, identifying variables, stating a hypothesis, designing an experiment, conducting the experiment, reflecting on results, and generating new questions. Specifically, it notes that the scientific method involves noticing something, wondering about it by asking a question, determining what factors could affect the outcome, proposing an explanation in the form of a testable hypothesis, designing how to test the hypothesis through an experiment, carrying out the experiment, analyzing if the results support the hypothesis, and considering new questions based on the findings.
