What type of reasoning is used when a scientist tests a hypothesis?
That would be deductive reasoning, as this type of reasoning moves from a general premise (an hypothesis) to a more specific conclusion (theory).
When scientist proceed from the particular to general?
inductive reasoningThe type of reasoning that involves using specific pieces of evidence to make generalizations are called inductive reasons.

How do scientists know how the sun looks like from the inside like the core?
Theoretically, scientist do not know what the sun looks like through this perspective. The only way to know is to actually be there. However, research using inductive and deductive empirical reasoning to make accurate assumptions.
What is deduction and induction?
In logic, we often refer to the two broad methods of reasoning as the deductive and inductive approaches.Deductive reasoning works from the more general to the more specific. Sometimes this is informally called a "top-down" approach. We might begin with thinking up a theoryabout our topic of interest. We then narrow that down into more specifichypotheses that we can test. We narrow down even further when we collect observations to address the hypotheses. This ultimately leads us to be able to test the hypotheses with specific data -- a confirmation (or not) of our original theories.Inductive reasoning works the other way, moving from specific observations to broader generalizations and theories. Informally, we sometimes call this a "bottom up" approach (please note that it's "bottom up" and not"bottoms up" which is the kind of thing the bartender says to customers when he's trying to close for the night!). In inductive reasoning, we begin with specific observations and measures, begin to detect patterns and regularities, formulate some tentative hypotheses that we can explore, and finally end up developing some general conclusions or theories.These two methods of reasoning have a very different "feel" to them when you're conducting research. Inductive reasoning, by its very nature, is more open-ended and exploratory, especially at the beginning. Deductive reasoning is more narrow in nature and is concerned with testing or confirming hypotheses. Even though a particular study may look like it's purely deductive (e.g., an experiment designed to test the hypothesized effects of some treatment on some outcome), most social research involves both inductive and deductive reasoning processes at some time in the project. In fact, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we could assemble the two graphs above into a single circular one that continually cycles from theories down to observations and back up again to theories. Even in the most constrained experiment, the researchers may observe patterns in the data that lead them to develop new theories.
During the scientific revolution how did scientist begin to prove there ideas?
During the Scientific Revolution, scientists standardized the way of proving their ideas through empirical evidence and inductive reasoning. This became the modern scientific method.
What type of reasoning method do scientist use?

What was bacon's theory?
Knowledge cames through observation and experimentation. He also was the inventor of inductive reasoning and is considered the Father of Humanism. Another one of his theories was that all knowledge had to be Empirically (scientifically) verified to be valid. He was an English scientist (1561- 1626) and was knighted for his findings.
