What is the scientific method and all of its steps?
Definition

The scientific method is a method use to solve different types of problems.

  • Observation -to look at a honey bee

  • Hypothesis-what you think will happen
  • experiment-why are their honey bees
  • conclusion -what are your results

why is a computer more accurate than a person when timing data?
Definition

a computer is more precise  because a person won't be able to calculate the precise data when the computer is technically a robot.
