Explanation:

Scientific method is a collection of techniques to investigate phenomena and find new knowledge.  The scientific method is regarded as fundamental to the scientific exploration and acquisition of new knowledge based on physical evidence or experience.

Knowledge can be obtained through the use of scientific method through deduction or induction. Deductive method draws logically necessary conclusions from the general to minor generals - singular or particular - statements. The advantage is that they are always safe and true, but their relevance to reality is questionable. Inductive method is based on individual phenomena that are generalized, and special phenomena go into general statements or theories. Inductive methods have the weakness that they do not provide certainty, but only degrees of probability.
