the scientific process is a systematic way of acquiring and validating knowledge. it begins with observing the world around us, followed by formulating a hypothesis that can be tested, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions based on the results. scientists use experiments to test the hypothesis, and if confirmed, the hypothesis is accepted, if not, it is modified and tested again. the process then is repeated until the desired answer is reached.
