Erasmus Darwin's Scientific Method

Step 1: Observe

Observe the world around you. Watch birds fly, plants grow, and cats sleep.

Step 2: Hypothesize

Make a wild guess about what's happening. The more outlandish, the better!

Step 3: Experiments

Carefully plan and execute a series of controlled tests to prove or disprove your hypothesis. Or just break some stuff.

Step 4: Analyze

Look at the results of your experiments and try to make sense of it all. Or just stare at a wall for hours.

Step 5: Conclude

Draw a conclusion based on your analysis. Or just make something up.

Conclusion

Share your findings with the world, or just shout them at the top of your lungs.
