Scientists admit there is always a chance of error and the knowledge of science can change.

Results collected during the experiment.

Restates the problem.

Factors kept constant during an experiment to use as a comparison.

Data observed and recorded as descriptions (no numbers, no measurements).

A procedure to test the hypothesis.

The human mind is capable of understanding all natural phenomena. 

Nature is predictable.

The first step in the scientific method.

Communication of analyzed data to others in an understandable way after an experiment is over.
