The document outlines the scientific method, which involves making observations, asking questions, developing hypotheses through educated guesses, designing and carrying out controlled experiments to test hypotheses, collecting and analyzing quantitative data, and drawing conclusions to build knowledge. It provides an example experiment investigating how marine snails respond to the presence of food, with hypotheses that snails will move faster near food.
