Methods Intro

It is important in science for scientists to reproduce the same results that were obtained by the researcher. The purpose of the Methods Project is to determine how specific and concise someone should be in order for another to obtain the same results as that person did by following their steps. These steps are the methods the person uses in order to get their results. When developing these steps, scientists must be able to identify factors needed to be controlled when doing the experiment. This requires scientists to distinguish between observation and inference. This is so that the experiment is successful and there will be no need to perform it differently multiple times. The reasons for the choosing the selected topic include its location and appearance. The factors considered for creating the methods to facilitate replication of the figure include time, location, photography, and the steps in creating the figure.
