There is nothing mysterious about this process.
You use it all the time in making decisions.
Here is an example of applying the scientific process to an everyday situation:

沒有什麼神秘的事物包含在這個程序裡。
你總是在作出決定方面使用它。
這裡有一個例子關於應用科學的程序到一種每天的情形：


observation : You switch your flashlight and nothing happens.
question : why didn't the light come on?
hypothesis : maybe the batteries are dead.
test the hypothesis : put in new batteries and switch on the flashlight.
result : flashlight still does not work.
new hypothesis : maybe the bulb is burned out.
experiment : replace bulb with a new bulb, and switch on flashlight.
result : flashlight works.
conclusion : second hypothesis is verified.


觀察：你打開你的手電筒，而沒發生任何事情。
問題：為什麼不會亮？
假設：也許電池沒電。
測試假設：手電筒換上新的電池且打開開關。
結果：手電筒仍然不亮。
新的假設：也許燈泡燒壞了。
實驗：換一個新的燈泡，且打開手電筒。
結果：手電筒工作。
結論：第二個假設被查證。
