Hypothetico-Deductive Method

The Hypothetico-Deductive Method is a systematic approach to scientific investigation. It involves forming a testable hypothesis or educated guess about a phenomenon. From this hypothesis, scientists deduce predictions that can be tested through experiments or observations. If the results align with the predictions, the hypothesis is supported; if not, it may be rejected or revised. This method helps scientists evaluate ideas objectively and build reliable knowledge by continually testing and refining their explanations based on evidence.
