Scientists typically begin their work with careful observation, noticing patterns or unusual phenomena. They then ask focused questions to understand what they observed. From these questions, they develop hypotheses as possible explanations. Next, they conduct investigations or experiments to collect evidence. After gathering data, they analyze it to see if it supports or contradicts their hypotheses. Based on the results, they draw conclusions and often communicate their findings to others. This process often leads to new questions, making inquiry a continuous and evolving cycle.

There are several ways to produce scientific ways.But to encourage our students to think like a scientific way need different approach.
1.Ask question to spark curiosity
2.Test their basic understanding on real things related to the subject.(background research)
3.Do experiment
4.Analyze data and info
5.Draw conclusion

I was a scientist in the past.
When you see something and you don't know what it is, you feel oblige to understand what it is.
- Curiosity first
Then you verify it is a real thing not an artifact handmade...
- statistical relevance
Then you imagine a reason why there you find a thing like this
- Questions
Then you answer just a question one by one
One question = many answers.
Is there any methodology or technique to get an answer yes or no.
Maybe is not allowed otherwise the technique is the wrong one.
Then you need a frame: you study all about the technique and all about the applications, and all about the topic you face in front of you.
Now you have a background... Now you have a project to write. Get funding and start the sperimental approach. Finally you get the answer: the yes answer give you an article to write, the no answer is a dead end. The yes answer publish, the no answer perish.
You get funded when your questions are the better ones.

Scientific method, in my opinion, has to start with a conversation with the pupils about the argument to taste their knowledge, and then the teacher can introduce a real situation to let the children understand and help them to find  questions and answers to their questions by Hypothesises and experiments . After this it’s very important to connect with the real life

The scientific method

The scientific method of inquiry is a way forward in the knowledge with inductive deductive mode. It starts by asking questions, and after consulting the scientificaP literature suggests a potential reason to explain the phenomenon. for the experimental verification it is necessary to organize repeatable experiments and controllable. After tabulation of data, these should be inertpretati, if they are consistent with the hypothesis made this becomes a theory or a law. Every law or theory can be refuted by new technological instruments, or when it can not explain a related phenomenon. This is the progress of science. We do not like the "inductivist turkey".

Scientific method is extremely important concept when getting students to carry out experiments and to also understand the purpose of them.
Firstly get students to observe and come up with questions based on their observations: what is happening? why is it happening? is there something specific causing the change? could I find a way to replicate or demonstrate what I'm seeing? Can they come up with a hypothesis or reason for what they observe?
Devise and carry out an experiment to test their observations: What  am I testing? what do I need to test my hypothesis? Is it a fair test? What data/results do I need to collect?
Once they've carried out their experiments/tests, they need to analyse what they've found out

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the basic steps of scientific method can be: observe, analise, formulate hypothesis, discuss, collect data, experiment, reflect, discuss, reformulate and get to conclusions.

# data[].attributes.body
It's the basis of modern experimental science, and it is composed by 4 basic steps:
- observation of nature (made with our senses and instruments)
- hypothesis formulation
- hypothesis verification throughout several experiments (using models of the nature if necessary and collecting measurements that must be analysed)
- hypothesis formalization in a scientific law or hypothesis rejection depending from the experiments results.
What I really like of modern science is the idea of continuous improvement of knowledge: even if a scientific law is well verified by our experiments, in the future someone with better instruments and methods, could find that our law is wrong, or must be corrected. The only certainty we can have is when we are wrong, as Feynman says so well in this video:

# data[].attributes.body
The basic steps are:

Scientific Method Basic Steps:
1. Make observations.
2. Propose a hypothesis.
3. Design and perform an experiment to test the hypothesis.
4. Analyze your data to determine whether to accept or reject the hypothesis.

I think there is not an unique way to do science. When I do research on Astronomy,  for example, I follow the steps below:
* Read about the research technique: similar studies already done;
* Read about the target objects: what have been done about the objects I will study;
* Get the data;
* Handle the data so I can use;
* Analise the data in various ways (graphics, diagrams, etc), including statistics analysis;
* Get the conclusions:
* Communicate o present the conclusions to the area collegues;
* Think about the following future research.

What are the basic steps of the scientific method?
Well, Science is not the subject I teach
As far as I remember from my school days the basic steps are observation followed by making hypotesys. It is then necessary to measure results which, when repeated, make a law if there is always the same result

We find out what we know about that.
We ask what we want to learn or ask  the question we want to answer.
We do the research.
We do the experiments
We analyse the results
We get a conclusion.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is the most important step and obviously to try to find answers/hypotesis to each of them. Sure, it's also very important the way in which a researcher find an answer, but the driving force in a scientific mind is alway the curious attitude

I know, a shocker! You need decades of training in your own field of study to be able to isolate properly your problem and formulate a hypothesis that is viable/suitable to be tested. On the other hand, typically we spoon feed students in our classes with exactly the right amount of information to address the already tuned hypothesis. Our classes aren't typical of a scientific approach. Students do, however, need to be shown that science is a human endeavor, sometimes consensual but mostly not, like what is shown in the Mystery Boxes video.

exhibit good learning objectives
give a concrete example of the problem
present a solution found for the problem considered
see how it is arrived at this solution of the problem
make the specific solution also applicable to other similar problems
try to turn the solution found in the general solution

I agree with Fanny , España.
I think the first step is a question to be answered (formulate quetions and hypothesis) then experimentation, observation, reflection, discussion,.. to try find out the knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most important is a good question and using knowledge which students already have. It is necessary to engage their to common discuss, give some time for observation and reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
The simple steps can be, observation, experimentation, conclusion and discussion. When we planning an experiment we must formulate hypotheses, change variables, choose tools. I agree with Fanny and Fatima.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the first step must be a question to be answered.The observation, experimentation, discussion,...are the way to arrive to the knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
The experimental scientific method that is based primarily on observation and uses problem solving to give answers. The hypotheses are compared and shared, experiments and mistakes allow a facilitated learning, and finally the conclusions are drawn, photographed, and shared among the various groups, in one or more classes.

Rosa, Italy: I think the first step is observation. We need to observe and be curious so that we can formulate questions and hypothesis. Then we can experiment and, if the answer doesn't convince  us, we have to try and try and try. When the Hypothesis is supported by evidence, then we can think to have a theory.

In my opinion, there is no such thing as a list of basic steps in a scientist’s work. Could there be particular steps that are to be followed in science? Do scientists progress through the steps in a certain order? Are scientists such logical individuals? History has times and again proven the opposite. Creativity interferes, and this is to be appreciated. The final product is the one that should be significant. To sum up, I believe the scientific method is a myth.

The scientific method is a collaborative process that takes place in a manner clearly documented to help other scientists who are doing research in the same field.

The 'scientific method' uses a broad framework for studying and learning more about the world around us in a scientific way. It is not so much a series of absolute, unchanging steps as a guide to the method that should be used when trying to reach a scientifically acceptable theory on a theme.

Therefore, you can not predict a finite number of steps or an exact procedure for following the scientific method.

However, you may as well describe the main steps of the scientific method that scientists commonly assume for conducting a scientific investigation.

Steps of the scientific method
make an observation
Scientists are naturally curious about the world. While many people may move from a curious phenomenon without sparing much thought to it, a scientific mind will take note of it as something worth further consideration and investigation.

Forming a question
Having made an interesting observation, a scientific mind itches to learn more about it. This is in fact a natural phenomenon. If you've ever wondered why or how something happens, you have listened to the scientist in you. In the scientific method, an application converts amazement and interest to a channelized line of thought and research.

Form a hypothesis
One hypothesis is informed hypothesis about the possible answer of the question. The hypothesis can be formed as soon as the issue arises, or you may require a great deal of research and background investigation. The purpose of the hypothesis is not to arrive at perfect answer to the question but to provide a direction for further scientific investigations.

Conduct an experiment
Once a hypothesis has been formed, it must be tested. This is done by carrying out an experiment carefully designed and controlled. The experiment is one of the most important steps of the scientific method as is used to demonstrate a right or wrong assumptions, and to formulate scientific theories. In order to be accepted as scientific proof of a theory, an experiment must meet certain conditions - must be controlled, that is to test a single variable, keeping all other variables under control. The experiment must be reproducible so that it can be tested for errors.

Analyze the data and draw a conclusion
How is conducted the experiment, it is important to write down the results. In each experiment, it is necessary to conduct various tests to ensure that the results are consistent. The investigator analyzes the data and uses it to draw a conclusion on the strength of assumptions. If the data proves the correct hypothesis, the initial question is answered. On the other hand, if the data refutes the hypothesis, scientific research continues doing research to form a new hypothesis and conduct an experiment to test. This process continues until a hypothesis can be proven correct by a scientific experiment.

The whole process is collaborative and takes place in a manner clearly documented to help other scientists who are doing research in the same field. Throughout history, there are cases in which scientists have stopped their research before completing all of the steps of the scientific method, only to have resumed the investigation and terminated by another scientist interested in responding to the same question.

1. Purpose- What do you want to learn?

2.Research- Find out as much as you can.

3.Hypothesis- Try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is ‘educated guess’. This is usually stated like ” If I…(do something) then…(this will occur)

4.Experiment- The fun part! Design a test or procedure to confirm or disprove your hypothesis.

5.Analysis- Record what happened during the experiment. Also known as ‘data’.

6.Conclusion- Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct.

The scientific method is based on observation. So, fitst of all:
1 observation of the phenomenon
2 understanding of the quantities involved
3 making an hypotesis on how the quantities interact
4 verifing the hypotesis preparing a useful experiment
5 collecting and analisys of the data
6 if the data confirm the hypothesis, this one is correct and can be communicated to scientific community
7 if not, you can change the hypotesis or the experiment but it is more common to change the hypotesis

2. Considering ideas and evidence.
3. Planning an investigation.
4. Obtaining and presenting evidence.
5. Considering the evidence and the approach [ Drawing conclusion from the investigation and thinking about the improvement]
