gathering, experimentation and analysis. This method is composed of (2)
steps. By making a detailed (3) of the world around you
through your senses, you can be able to formulate a (4) . This
step will lead you to an educated guess called (5) , where you
can have tentative answer to your question. In order for you to prove your educated
guess you need to (6) by designing and conducting an
experiment. In the experiment you need to identify the variables present and these
are the (7) and (8) variables. The data
from the experiment will be collected to (9) . The summarized
results from the experiment will determine whether the hypothesis is accepted or
rejected and that is where you (10) .
