The Scientific Method The scientific method is a form of discovery science. Discovery science is when observations and measurements can be verified with data. Applying the scientific method usually requires six steps. These steps are observation‚ question‚ hypothesis‚ prediction‚ conclusion‚ and results. 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

We use induction

Introduction: Chemical reactions can be affected by a number of different factors. Particle size‚ temperature‚ concentration of a solution‚ and catalysts play a big role in the rate of reaction‚ they determine how fast a reaction will occur. According to the collision theory‚ the rate of reaction depends on the frequency of effective collisions between particles. Every reaction is different in that they all require different conditions and factors in order to have the most effective collisions
