observation and

A scientist is someone who
systematically gathers and uses
research and evidence, to make
hypotheses and test them, to
gain and share understanding
and knowledge. A scientist can
be further defined by: how they
go about this, for instance by
use of statistics (statisticians)
or data (data scientists).
SCIENTIFIC METHOD

predictions
