Explanation:

The scientific - method starts with making an observation about a phenomenon. Then, a hypothesis (an educated guess) is formulated to explain the observation. Based on the hypothesis, predictions are made. Experiments are conducted to test these predictions. If multiple experiments support the hypothesis, it may become a theory. The scientific method is important because it provides a structured and orderly way to collect and study facts, ensuring objectivity and reliability in scientific studies.
