For example if somebody says "I love you," that may not be wrong but you can't test it. You have to be careful, you can make a guess but if it can't be proved wrong then it's not a scientific hypothesis.
Now, that is a scientific hypothesis because you'll noticed something.
So I will come up with my hypothesis that based on the shorter length of Highway 101 versus the longer length of Highway 280, it will take me less time to drive from San Jose to San Francisco taking Highway 101. And I'm going to go with the side, the group of people who said that Highway 101 is shortest and I think shortest equals fastest. So based on my research it's time for me to come up with a hypothesis. Some people argue 101 because it's shorter. Now, based on my research everybody seems to agree that driving City Streets must take way too long. Well, if I do some research that'll help me narrow down my choices and perhaps there's three ways to get there Highway O101, Highway 280 and city streets. So let's go to the other question that I had which is, which ways to get to San Francisco is fastest. I demand a lot of evidence to back that up. So if you read for example that somebody online has posted their cure for cancer which is to jump a rope or singing jingle bells, if you do that for ten minutes, you're cured. And this is where some people wind up running into trouble because a scientist or somebody who is thinking like a scientist, when they do their research, they're always skeptical about what they're reading. For example this could range anywhere from as important and deep as "how do I cure cancer" to as simple as "what's the fastest way for me to get from San Jose to San Francisco?" Now that I've asked a question, it's time for me to find out what do people know or think they know. To do Science all you have to do is be curious and to start asking questions about the world. Now, some people have this idea that in order to do Science you have to have be wearing our lab coat and have a PhD. The first thing that whenever you're doing Science is that ask a question, next do some research, third come up with a hypothesis, fourth test it with a hypothesis, sorry with an experiment and then finally draw a conclusion.
Depending on your teacher or your textbook, you'll see many different ways of breaking down the scientific method but no matter how many versions I've seen, they all seem to share some way these five steps.
