A long time ago, before the 15oo's, many people had the wrong idea about a lot of science questions. For example, people thought that Aristotle's idea about the amount of weight affects how fast something will fall. However Aristotle was wrong, leading everyone in the wrong direction. Until Galileo proved him wrong by testing two objects in different amounts of weight.
This is why the scientific method is so important. Without actually experimenting something you can really be wrong. Even if you get the wrong idea after experimenting with something there is always room for changing your result. Scientific method includes observing, next you make a hypothesis, finally you do the experiment. You check up on your experiment and gather data. It can be in charts, graphs or notes.
The scientific method lets you know the difference between a fact, method or theory. For example, if you want to know if a bread will grow mold after being left in a dark location. You can experiment this by using the scientific method. You can get two pieces of bread and put one in the dark and another in a place with a lot of light. You can predict what is going to happen. Then you come back to both locations daily and check to see if the bread in the darker location is more moldy then the bread in the location with light.
Even though there is room for changes in results to a scientific experiment it does make you wonder if there ever is one answer?
