The Scientific Method

The scientific method is a method used to prove your theories on an experiment. Many scientists use the scientific method to prove their own theories about something or prove someone else wrong about their theory. With the scientific method scientists are able to reach their own conclusions about a new or old experiment. The scientific method is the base used for all conducted experiments.

One experiment using the scientific method is maybe proving which runner, in a marathon, will win the race. Each runner did three different things to prepare for the race: one ate pasta, one drank coffee, and one slept four extra hours prior to the race. Now all you need to do is come up with an educated guess on which will reach the finish line before the others, then time the time it took for them to reach each mile until the end. Now was the first one to reach the finish line the one you guessed was going to make it first? Your conclusion is written from the results you got.
