    The passage discusses the scientific method and how it is used by scientists to systematically explore observations and find cause-and-effect relationships in nature. It explains the typical steps of the scientific method: making an observation, asking a question, forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis through experimentation, analyzing results, and drawing a conclusion. The passage also provides examples of scientific statements that express general truths about what happens under certain conditions, such as water boiling at 100 degrees Celsius or plants dying if not watered.

    “Conditions and Results”

    Science is great!

    Fernando and Jason are high school students. They are talking about their science class. They are
    amazed by the things they have learned. Science is based on what is called the scientific method. The scientific
    method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. Scientists
    use the scientific method to search for cause and effect relationships in nature. In other words, scientists design
    an experiment so that changes to one item cause something else to vary in a predictable way. First they observe
    a phenomenon. Second, they ask a question related to what they observed. To answer that question, they do
    research and formulate a hypothesis, which is like making a prediction of what will happen. Third, they test their
    hypothesis by doing an experiment. Sometimes, scientists repeat their experiment several times to make sure
    their results are accurate. Finally, they analyze the results and draw a conclusion, which can agree or disagree
    with their hypothesis. When a cause and effect relationship shows to be true every time that it is tested, it can
    become a scientific law.
    Scientific statements can be expressed as general truths. These are some examples Fernando and Jason found
    in their general science book:

    If you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius, it boils.

    If you freeze water, it becomes a solid. If iron is in contact with water, it rusts.

    If heat is transferred, it moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

    If you don’t water a plant, it dies. If you drop something, it falls.

    You get sick when you don’t have a balanced diet.

    When a seed is planted in fertile soil, it grows well.

    Thanks to science, we are now able to understand many phenomena in nature that have made our daily lives
    better and easier.
