This describes a scientific method where a specific testable explanation (hypothesis) is formulated first, then tested through experiments or observations. Applied science uses existing science for practical goals; basic science focuses on fundamental knowledge without immediate application; descriptive science observes and describes phenomena without testing a specific explanation first; natural/physical science are broad categories of science, not this specific approach.
