OVERVIEW
Investigation is the heart of science. It is the way scientists do research. Scientific investigation
is a way to find answers to a question that will produce evidences that help you answer questions and
solve problems. When the evidence cannot provide answers or solutions then it may lead to new
questions or problems for investigation. As more knowledge are discovered, science advances.
Researchers investigate the world in so many ways. In different fields of science, they may use
different methods and be guided by different theories and hypotheses but most of them generally follow
the steps in a Scientific Investigation.
