When have you have a question that needs an answer you reason and try to find the answer. The only way that you would know that your answer is fact is that you would prove it. The way people proved it was through mutiple experiments. In ancient greek the way they would figure out that something was true, was asking someone else. They would just accept the fact that was told to them. As time progressed people started to question more everyday things. Then scientist used a method to prove the facts that were once stated in the past.
This method is a way you make a statement a true fact. The way you try this method is observe and analize any data that was found. After analizing the data make a hypothesis out of the analized data. When you belive in a hypothesis you start testing this theory with mutiple experiments. After these experments are through you make a scientific theory.
An example of this method in work is when a person conducts an simple experiment to see if sunlight really affects plant life. A person would make a hypothesis and test it mulitple times so that it has consistant results. Then after you gather the data from the experiment you make a scientific theory regarding all the trials done.
