• Observe and ask a question. Why does cod-liver oil cure rickets?
• Formulate a hypothesis. The vitamin A in cod-liver oil is the curative factor.
• Conduct an experiment. Feed rats with rickets cod-liver oil that contains no vitamin A.
• Hypothesis supported. Rats were not cured.
• Or, Hypothesis not supported. Rats were cured.
• If the hypothesis is not supported, then, Revise or formulate a new hypothesis.
• Return to step, Formulate a hypothesis. The vitamin A in cod-liver oil is the curative factor.
1. Select a large number of subjects with rickets.
2. Randomly divide subjects into two groups.
3. To prevent bias, neither the subjects nor the scientists know which group receives what treatment. Experimental group receives vitamin D supplement. Control group receives placebo.
Compare the results. Did the vitamin D cure rickets in the experimental group and did the control group remain unchanged? If yes, vitamin D cures rickets. If no, revise hypothesis.
