THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD: A five-step process that scientists use to solve problems
The acronym for the steps is PHEOC
PHEOC is an acronym for
PROBLEM: Scientists start with a problem and form a question from the problem
HYPOTHESIS: Scientists then make a scientific prediction about the results of an experiment
EXPERIMENT: Scientists make a plan to solve the problem and put it into action
OBSERVATION: As the experiment is taking place, a scientist will watch what happens and take notes on what is happening
CONCLUSION: After the experiment is over, scientists make a final statement about the results, and if their prediction was correct or not

A good mnemonic device for the scientific method is "PHEOC" which stands for Problem, Hypothesis, Experiment, Observation, and Conclusion. This acronym helps to remember the key steps involved in conducting scientific research. By following PHEOC, you can systematically approach experiments and ensure that each critical phase is addressed.
