An interesting topic that I chose
to write about was evaluating the scientific hypothesis. The relevance to the
problem under study means to see how the phenomenon relates to real world
issues or how it relates to what it is trying to explain. Also, all of the
relevant observations and facts need to be weeded out versus having unrelated facts
and observations that do not support the validity of the phenomenon. There
needs to be consistency with well-established theories. That means that if
there is a theory already in place, your observations and conclusions, should
be used to help support the ideas of the other theory. The next things are that
the hypothesis should be simple, testable, and falsifiable. Finally, a good
hypothesis can be used to predict similar events.
