Question

which of the following are the proper components of the scientific method?
question, observation, experiment, analysis, prediction
observation, question, opinion, conclusion, hypothesis
observation, question, hypothesis, prediction, experiment, results, conclusion
experiment, conclusion, application

Explanation:

The scientific method follows a standardized sequence: first making an observation of a phenomenon, forming a question about it, developing a testable hypothesis, making a prediction based on the hypothesis, conducting an experiment to test the prediction, analyzing the resulting data/results, and finally drawing a conclusion. The other options either include non-scientific elements (like opinion) or are missing key steps or have an incorrect order.

Answer:

observation, question, hypothesis, prediction, experiment, results, conclusion
