The scientific method is just a fancy name for a logical way of solving problems. You likely use it every day without knowing!
Imagine you try to switch on your torchlight, and it refuses to shine. What do you do?
1. Observation: The light is not working.
2. Hypothesis: Maybe the batteries are dead.
3. Experiment: You put in new batteries and try again.
4. Conclusion: If it works, your hypothesis was right! If not, you guess again—maybe the bulb is blown.
That cycle—Observe, Guess, Test, Conclude—is exactly what scientists do, whether they are studying viruses or stars. It is a systematic way of finding the truth.
