The 5 features of science inquiry (emphasis is mine)
- Learner Engages in Scientifically Oriented Questions.

What are the five scientific methods?
The scientific method has five basic steps, plus one feedback step:
- Make an observation.
- Ask a question.
- Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.
- Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.
- Test the prediction.
- Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions.
What is the scientific method in order?
The basic steps of the scientific method are: 1) make an observation that describes a problem, 2) create a hypothesis, 3) test the hypothesis, and 4) draw conclusions and refine the hypothesis.
What is the step in scientific investigation which is also known as an educated guess?
Scientific Method: Step 3: HYPOTHESIS The hypothesis is an educated guess as to what will happen during your experiment. The hypothesis should relate back to your original question and must be testable.
What are examples of hypothesis?
Examples of Hypothesis:
- If I replace the battery in my car, then my car will get better gas mileage.
- If I eat more vegetables, then I will lose weight faster.
- If I add fertilizer to my garden, then my plants will grow faster.

Do scientists rely on imagination?
Science is creative in much the same way that art, music, or literature are creative, in that scientists have to use their imagination to come up with explanations. These explanations are well informed – they are not mere guesses – but there is no escaping the fact that they are ultimately products of the imagination.
How are ideas created?
“Really, we should think of ideas as connections,in our brains and among people. What Kelly and Johnson explain is that it’s certainly possible for good ideas to develop on their own, in the brain of a single person, but the best ideas develop faster as a result of being transmitted from one mind to another.
Where do good ideas come from individuals or groups?
You’ll find that the best ideas tend to come from group discussions (though, sometimes the best ideas only make themselves visible after the discussion has ended). Image source: Geof Oppenheimer via Ratio 3.
What is a slow hunch?
In his TED talk here (and his book), he explains that good ideas do not come as epiphanies, but rather arrive slowly and through a long process of hypothesis testing. Johnson calls this “the slow hunch” theory: a great idea slowly fades into view over a long period of time.
What is the adjacent possible?
Adjacent possible: The adjacent possible is a kind of shadow future, hovering on the edges of the present state of things, a map of all the ways in which the present can reinvent itself. As Steven notes, the adjacent possible “captures both the limits and the creative potential of change and innovation.”
How do we get to now?
How We Got To Now with Steven Johnson is a six part documentary series that reveals the story behind the remarkable ideas that made modern life possible; the unsung heroes that brought them into the world, and the unexpected and bizarre consequences each of these innovations has triggered.
What innovation means?
