Example of Scientific Method in Everyday Life

The scientific method in everyday life it has its application in serving to find the solution to many everyday problems.

East method it is based, like everything scientific method, in observation, prediction, planned experimentation, the rules of reasoning and the communication of the result, whether theoretical or experimental.

Every time someone has a problem, they look for a concrete solution and when this solution is established as a general principle that can be reproduced, the scientific method.

Example of application of the scientific method in everyday life:

"The disease of an ape"

1. First is the observation, the ape vomits and has diarrhea.
2. Then the question, What causes the problem?
3. First hypothesis, an intestinal infection.
4. If the theory is correct and the cure will be an antibiotic.
5. Then comes the experiment, which consists of finding the correct antibiotic and applying it to the ape.
6. After application follow the check the house consists of checking whether the cure worked or not. If the cure did not work, it does not mean that it was not worth anything, all the previous movements. Then the previous steps are repeated but looking for another cause of the problem, perhaps a failure or omission in the diagnosis. Now a new hypothesis has to be made but taking into account that the previous hypothesis was incorrect since the specific cure did not improve the ape.

7. Then a new hypothesis, based on the new observations. The ape is allergic to some food.
8. So, the prediction is that by removing the toxic food or applying a treatment against its allergy, the animal will improve.
9. The experiment now consists of find that produces the allergy and in removing or treating the allergen.
10. Now again to verify, the ape was found to be allergic to peanuts since by alternately removing one component in its diet, the one that worked was the peanut.
11. Finally the conclusion, the experiment verified that the second hypothesis was correct, the peanut caused the intestinal problem and not the supposed infection.
