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:
關於這個過程沒什麼可疑的。您一直使用它來做出決定。這裡有個在日常生活中運用科學過程的例子:

Observation: You switch on 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： 您打開您的手電筒，什麼事都沒發生。
問題： 光為什麼沒有进展？
假說： 可能電池是壞的。
檢驗假設： 投入在新的電池再打開手電筒開關。
結果： 手電仍然不運轉。
新的假說： 可能電燈泡燒掉了。
實驗： 用一個新的電燈泡替換掉舊的電燈泡，並打開手電筒。
結果： 手電筒運轉。
結論： 第二個假說被證實。


Here is a more formal outline of steps scientists often take in trying to understand nature, although not always in the order listed:
這是一個比較正式的大綱步驟科學家往往需要在試圖了解性質，但並不總是在列出的順序：



Identify a problem.Bormann and Likens identified the loss of water and soil nutrients from cutover forests as a problem worth studying.
辨識一個問題。Bormann和Likens辨認樹木砍光了的原野森林中水和土壤營養素損失作為一個問題值得學習。
