Biological Method:

The biological method is a systematic approach used by scientists to investigate and understand biological phenomena.

Or

The biological method is the systematic way by which scientists study living things.

Explanation:

            It involves a series of steps that ensure the validity and reliability of scientific research.

Here's a breakdown of the key steps involved in the biological method:

Observation:

The first step in the scientific process is to observe a natural phenomenon or problem and ask questions about it.

Question:

After observing a phenomenon, a specific question is created. This question should be easy to understand, short, and able to be tested.

 

1.    Hypothesis:

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for the observed phenomenon. It should be a testable statement that can be either supported or refuted through experimentation.

2.    Experiment:

 Experiments are designed to test the hypothesis. These experiments should be controlled, meaning that only one variable (the independent variable) is changed at a time, while others (dependent variables) are kept constant.

 

 

Data Collection:

Data is collected from the experiment. The collected data can be either numerical (Quantitative) or descriptive (Qualitative).

Analysis:

The data is examined to see if it agrees or disagrees with the proposed explanation. Statistical tests may be used to analyze quantitative data.

3.    Conclusion:

Based on the analysis, a conclusion is drawn about whether the hypothesis is supported or rejected.

4.    Communication:

 The results of the research are communicated to the scientific community through publications, presentations, or other means.
