Mike Linley creates a series of new investigations

This week Mike has been out on location creating a series of new scientific investigations. Scientific investigation is the way in which scientists and researchers use a systematic approach to answer questions about the world around us.

 

A great scientific investigation is a quest to find the answer to a question using the scientific method. In turn, the scientific method is a systematic process that involves using measurable observations to formulate, test or modify a hypothesis. Finally, a hypothesis is a proposed explanation for some observed phenomenon, based on experience or research. Scientific investigation is what people like you and me use to develop better models and explanations for the world around them.
