  1. scientist use the scientific method so they could solve problems easier and know what they are doing example like after you make a question you know you gather information on the problem.

    Scientists use the scientific method to solve problems so they can solve the problem in an organized way. If they do not use this method,all of their data might get mixed up and their conclusion will be wrong.Also, this method will help you prove to a scientist that your experiment was done correctly. If a scientist came up to you and said" prove that your conclusion was correct" you would be able to show him all of the steps of the scientific method and he should be able to see that yur experiment was done correctly.

    I think scientists use the scientific method to solve problems because it's a good way to figure out something. The scientific method is first stating a conclusion, gather information. form hypothesis, perform experiments to test hypothesis, record and analyze data, state conclusion, and repeating your work. Useing these steps to the scientific method can help you solve almost any problem, like why your computer isn't working, or why your bicycle won't move. This is why I thinl scientists use the scientific method to solve problems.

    Scientists use the scietific method because it's a systematical approach to solving problems.They can use this method to answer questions that they have about the world around them.They gather information about the problem so they can form an educated guess (hypothesis).After their hypothesis they perform experiments and tests on that problem to see if their hypothesis is correct.After all those tests and experiments they record and analyze the data that they gathered after the experiments and tests they performed.After they record and analyze that data they come to a conclusion.That conclusion states if your hypothesis is correct or not.Then you repeat your work and see if you come up with the same answer. This is why scientists use the scientific method to solve problems.

    because the scientific method is the commonly accepted approach in the scientific world and it provides a logical way to go about problem solving. Also if a scientist did not use the scientific method other scientists would probably question his results and think he was a moron.

    Scientists use the scientific method to solve problems because it is an organized way to find their problem. Instead of having things all over, they could follow certain steps to reach their conclusion. Another reason they use this method is too make sure that they have an accurate answer. The scientific method will help them get an accurate answer because it gives them all they need to do in certain steps. It will make it easier for all scientists. This is why scientist use the scientific method.

    Scientists use the scientific method because it is an easier and more organized way to find a conclusion to a problem. if you have lots of info scattered everywhere, it is harder to find an answer.

    scientists use the scientific method because it is the best way to solve their problems, it normally always works, and it is organized. Creating a hypothesis,testing it, etc. it is the best way to construct an experiment, and it makes sense. This is why scientists use the scientific method.

    Scientists use the Scientific method to solve problems because you do not want a big unorganized mess.They use the scientific method to organize their problem.SOmetimes the scientific method may be out of order when something comes up ,but it is still the most systematic way to solve a problem while keeping your facts,experiments,and data up to date and organized, so they can reach the correct conclusion

    I think scientists use the scientific method to solve problems because it's an organized way to solve the problem. The scientific method is stating the problem, gathering information on the problem, forming a hypothesis, performing experiments to test the hypothesis, analyzing and recording data, stating the conclusion and repeating the work. In this organized list, it's easier to find the answer to the problem. Without the scientific method, most scientific theories might have been proved true, but some that shouldn't might also have been "proven true" because someone made a mistake and (for example) didn't repeat the work. That's why scientists use the scientific method.

    Sientists use the scientific method to solve problems because it's a step by step method and avoids mistakes. Also following the scientific method makes it easier to repeat the experiment. Scientist can prove a theory to be a law by following the scientific method.

    Scientists use the scientific method to help them with the problem because it is an easy and organized way to promblem solving. Also by gathering data to do a hypothesis and they do a experiment to test their hypothesis. Lastly,they analyze their data and repeat it over and over again then they come up with their conclusion.

    The reason that scientist use the scientific method is because it is the steps to solving a problem and with the steps of the scientific method the scientist can solve the problem or problems a lot faster. This is the reason that scientist use the scientific method to solve problems.

    Scientists use the scientific method to solve problems. They use the scientific method because it is a good way to solving a problem. First the scientist state the problem, then they gather info. on the problem, for a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, record and analyze data then state the conclusion and last of all repeat the work......

    I think that scientists use the scientific method to solve problems because it is an organized and systamatic approach to problem solving.The steps are,asking a question,gathering info,forming a hypothesis,testing your hypothesis,recording and analyzing data,and stating a conclusion,and repeating the work.They repeat the work so they can make sure that they are getting the correct data

    Scientist use the scientific method to solve problems because it is a way to uncover the truth. For example, if a scientist wanted to test soap to see which one would clean better, the one with the variable or the one without the variable.
    ;)

    Another reason it is used is because it is the easiest way to solve problems. Information is gathered from the problem, a hypothesis is formed, and it is tested. The data is then recorded and analyzed and a conclusion is made. The work is then repeated,until you have all of the data you need. That is why scientist use the Scientific Method is used to solve problems.

    The reason that scientist use the scientific method to solve problems is because it brakes your problem into easy steps so that the problem is easier to solve and the another reason that they use this is to reprove their theories.This is the reason that scientist use the scientific method to solve problems.

    I think scientists use the scientific method to solve problems because this way they always do their research the same way. They can also repeat the work to see if they get the same answer each time.

    Scientists use the scientific method to solve problems because it's an organized systematic way to problem solving. If scientist don't follow the same procedure then they're going to get different answers and it's going to be very confusing. By using the same procedure, others can perform the same experiment and get more accurate results.
