Explanation of Solution
A logical, methodical technique for solving a scientific problem is known as the scientific method.
Making observations, proposing and testing hypotheses, and creating theories are all steps in the scientific method.
The steps in the scientific method are not always needed to be followed in order.
The experiment a scientist needs to conduct to verify a hypothesis may sometimes be challenging or impossible.
For instance, some of the smallest units of matter, such as atoms and molecules, are not readily visible. In these circumstances, scientists frequently use models to help them better understand a problem.
So, in these cases testing a hypothesis is not applicable and models are supposed to be created.
