The scientific method involves making observations, forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis through an experiment, analyzing the results, and drawing conclusions. A hypothesis is an educated guess that can be tested through an experiment. Protein denaturation occurs when a protein loses its tertiary structure, which affects its function. Common factors that can denature a protein include heat, chemicals, and changes in pH. A good scientific report contains an introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion section.
