In ancient Egypt, the Nile River would flood. The banks of the river would be filled with mud and many frogs would appear. Ancient Egyptians concluded that frogs come from muddy soil. They didn’t use the scientific method! Forming conclusions without experimentation is still done all the time. Scientists use a structured approach called the scientific method to answer questions and figure out problems. The scientific method includes making observations, developing hypotheses, testing the hypotheses, collecting data, and analyzing results. There are controls, independent variables, and dependent variables involved. We solve our everyday problems with the scientific method without even realizing it. In your initial post, outline a situation you’ve encountered in your work or daily life in which you used the scientific method to solve a problem. List your observation, your hypothesis, how you tested your hypothesis, your data, and conclusion. What were your controls, independent variables, and dependent variables? Also, in your initial post, list an example of an individual or group that has made a conclusion without using the scientific method.

In my role working in a medical billing office, I use analytical thinking similar to the scientific method to resolve billing discrepancies. For example, I observed that certain insurance claims were consistently denied for missing documentation, which caused delays in reimbursement. My hypothesis was that the claims were being denied because required documents were not included or submitted incorrectly. To test this hypothesis, I reviewed a sample of denied claims, checking the submitted documentation against the original medical records and billing requirements. The data collected showed that in most cases, the required documentation was either incomplete or incorrectly attached. As a control, I compared these with claims that were approved, noting that complete and correctly submitted documents led to successful reimbursement. The independent variable was the completeness and accuracy of the documentation, while the dependent variable was the claim approval status. Based on this data, I concluded that ensuring correct documentation submission would improve claim approval rates. To address this, I implemented a checklist procedure for proper documentation before submitting claims, which significantly reduced denials and sped up the reimbursement process. This experience mirrors the scientific method—making observations, forming hypotheses, testing through data collection, and analyzing outcomes. Conversely, an example of a group that often makes conclusions without the scientific method is some media outlets that spread misinformation based on assumptions or incomplete information, rather than evidence-based research. These groups tend to publish sensationalist stories that are not supported by verified data, which can mislead the public and cause unnecessary panic or misunderstanding. References Lehrer, J.
