Not all scientists use these steps in the same way. I own a 55 gallon aquarium with koi‚ “algae eaters‚” and three breeds of tropical fish. Just today I used the scientific method to solve the problem of a dirty tank. Therefore‚ I will use this experience as an example of how I can‚ and often do‚ apply the scientific method
