the secondary title

involves a series of steps that are used to investigate a natural occurence

there are two groups involved in the experimental research,

includes a statemant that accepts or rejects a hypothesis. includes recommendations for further study and possible improvements to the procedure.

means the study has the potential to fill gaps in knowledge or address unknown aspects

includes developing and following a procedure, including a detailed list of the materials. the outcome must be measurable (quantifiable)

here, researchers explore a topic to gain insights and generate hypotheses. it’s often the initial step before more structured research

it should predict the contents of the scientific report

involves numerical data, statistical analysis and objective measurements

develop a question or problem that can be solved through experimentation

the primary title
